Question

Use the ALEKS calculator to find the price of the item now.

Answer 1

To find the current price of the item after a 35% reduction, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of the reduction: \[ \text{Reduction} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Reduction Percentage} \] \[ \text{Reduction} = 45 \times 0.35 = 15.75 \]

2. Subtract the reduction from the original price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Reduction} \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 45 - 15.75 = 29.25 \]

Therefore, the price of the item after the reduction is $29.25.
