    No ... it's wrong

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's take it by choosing an arbitrary figure for the original price and let's say it's 500

    When the price is reduced by 35% the new price would be

    500 * [100-35]/100

    500 * 65/100 = 325

    When the price is reduced further by 15%,

    The new price would be;

    325 * [100-15]/100

    325 * 85/100 = 276.25

    To say the price was reduced by 50% of the original price would have been it reduced by half of the original price which would be

    500/2 = 250
