Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original price of the item is $85. . The price of the item has been reduced by25%.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the amount of the reduction. We can do this by multiplying the original price by the reduction rate.
$Reduction = Original\, price \\times Reduction\, rate$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the original price and reduction rate to calculate the reduction.
$Reduction = \$85 \\times25\%$

STEP 4

Convert the percentage to a decimal value.
$25\% =0.25$ $Reduction = \$85 \\times0.25$

STEP 5

Calculate the reduction amount.
$Reduction = \$85 \\times0.25 = \$21.25$

STEP 6

Now that we have the reduction amount, we can find the new price by subtracting the reduction from the original price.
$New\, price = Original\, price - Reduction$

STEP 7

Plug in the values for the original price and the reduction to calculate the new price.
$New\, price = \$85 - \$21.25$

STEP 8

Calculate the new price.
$New\, price = \$85 - \$21.25 = \$63.75$ The new price of the item is $63.75.
