Answer: $573

A 40% reduction in price means that the new price is 60% the original price so we need to find 60 percent of 955. So, 955* o.6= 573. we multiply 955 by the decimal form of 60% which if 1 is 100 then 60% of that is 60 since 1 is 1, we use decimal form which means 0.60 is what we multiply by 955 the 100 in this case that gets us 573. so the reduced price of the computer is $573.
