The price of an item has been reduced by 85%. The original price was $45. What is the price of the item now.

Answer:the price for the item now it's 6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Origin price is 45=100% after reduction comes to 85% = x

X stands for the unknown value of the reduction therefore

45=100%

X=85%

45*.85=100x

After calculation you realised the value of x reduction value it's 38.25

Hence, original price is 45 your less from the value reduced 38.25 therefore the value of the item is 6.75
