Ten years ago, a man was offered a motorcycle for $1024, but he declined to
buy it.
A year later, he was offered the same motorcycle for $640, but again decided not to
buy
it. A little while after that, he was again offered the motorcycle for $400. Again,
he declined to
buy it. Last week, he declined to buy the motorcycle again, even

$250. If the owner offers it for sale yet again, and he
makes a consistent reduction of the price, how
much will it be the next time he offers
it for sale?
