$67.55 did dontrelle pay.

As per the statement: Dontrelle received 30% off when he purchased a rare book reguraly priced at $96.50.

He purchased a rare book regularly prices = $96.50.

Let part of quantity he pay be x.

`(percent part)/(percent whole) = (part of quantity)/(whole quantity)`

`(100-30)/(100) =(x)/(96.50)`

`(70)/(100) = (x)/(96.50)`

⇒
`x = 96.50 * (70)/(100)`

Simplify:

x = $67. 55

Therefore, $67.55 did dontrelle pay.
