Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 45% . The original price was 75% .

Answer 1

$41.25

Explanation:

If the original price was $75 and we reduce it by 45% then we would pay 55% of the price. We know this because 100%-45%=55%. I find the price by multiplying the original price by the percent I pay as a decimal. 55%=0.55. This would be 0.55(75)=$41.25.
