Item 2 was now placed in the Clearance Section and reduced to 70% off
the original (before sale) price. Calculate the new reduced price. Show
all working out in the space provided.

$30 (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the original (before sale price) price to solve this question.

Since the original price isn't given, we will assume the original price to be $100 and solve the problem.

You can solve the problem the same way as shown below when you have a different original price.

We need to reduce the original price by 70% to geet the clearance sale price.

Let the original price be $100 (as stated earlier).

We first need to find 70% off of that and subtract it from the original  ($100).

70% of 100 is:

70% = 70/100 = 0.7

0.7 * 100 = 70

Now, subtracting, we get:

$100 - $70 = $30

The new reduced price is:

$30
