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

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

- 1.613 = -1.6 or -1.61

-1.522 = -1.5 or -1.52

0.587 = 0.6 or 0.59

3.079 = 3.1 or 3.08

i'm not sure i quite understand, could you provide more information?
