Hi Jessie,
It's difficult to tell whether your sentence is correct or not because it's been taken out of context, but here are a few suggestions:
- 'Adjusted' could be changed to 'raised' or 'reduced/lowered'.
- '2500.00 euros' could be changed to '€2500' or '2500 euros'.
- The tense could be wrong. If the prices were changed to 2500 euros (in the past) and remain at 2500 euros (now, in the present), then I would use the present perfect tense: 'The sales prices of both items have been adjusted to 2500 euros'. However, if the prices were changed to 2500 euros and were then changed again (i.e. the prices are no longer 2500 euros), then perhaps the past simple tense would be better: 'The sales prices of both items were adjusted to 2500 euros'. These two options are likely to be more appropriate than 'are adjusted'.
Good luck, and remember to try and give as much context as possible!

You could also say "have been adjusted"

It sounds correct,but without the complete context it's hard for me to tell.
