To find the new price of the item after a 75% reduction, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the amount of the reduction:
\[
\text{Reduction Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Percentage Reduction} = 55 \times 0.75 = 41.25
\]
2. Subtract the reduction amount from the original price:
\[
\text{New Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Reduction Amount} = 55 - 41.25 = 13.75
\]
Thus, the price of the item now is **$13.75**.
