To calculate the new price of the table after the discounts, we need to apply the discounts sequentially.
First, we need to determine the price after the 50% off sale.
The table originally costs $148.95, and with a 50% discount, the price becomes $148.95 * 0.50 = $74.47.
Next, we need to determine the price after the additional 30% off.
The price after the first discount is $74.47, and with a 30% discount, the price becomes $74.47 * 0.70 = $52.14.
Therefore, the new price of the table is $52.14.
The correct answer is option C: $52.14.
