Answer 1

Given:

The regular price of an item is

`\text{ \$}55`

Required:

We have to find the price of the item after a discount of

`15\%`

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15% discount is given on the regular price so we have to subtract 15% of the regular price from the regular price.

`\begin{gathered} 15\%\text{ of }55 \\ \\ =(15)/(100)*55 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} =(825)/(100) \\ \\ =8.25 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the present price is

`\begin{gathered} =55-8.25 \\ =\text{\$}46.75 \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

Hence the final answer is

`\text{\$}46.75`
