Answer: Sales price of the item would be approximately $2.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

List price of the item = $2.89

Rate of decline = 31%

So, Amount reduced by


(31)/(100)* 2.89\\\\=0.31* 2.89\\\\=\$0.8959

So, Sales price of the item will be


2.89-0.8959\\\\=\$1.9941\\\\=\$2

Hence, Sales price of the item would be approximately $2.
