Answer:

$4.65.

Explanation:

To calculate the new price after the decrease of 14%, we first find the value of the decrease by multiplying the old price by 14% (0.14):

$5.40 x 0.14 = $0.75

So the value of the crop decreased by $0.75. To find the new price, we subtract the decrease from the old price:

$5.40 - $0.75 = $4.65

So the new price is $4.65.

Hope this helps. Good studies!
