To calculate the price of the item after a 70% reduction from the original price of $71, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the amount of the discount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 71 \times 0.70 = 49.7
\]
2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the new price:
\[
\text{New Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 71 - 49.7 = 21.3
\]
So, the price of the item now is **$21.30**.
