Answer:

$116.55

Explanation:

If original price= $259

And sale= 55% off original price

Then price after sale=(100%-55%) of $259

Working:

100%-55%=45% or
(45)/(100)

45% of $259 or
(45)/(100) x
(259)/(1)= $116.55

I'm not sure what answer you need for this question?
original price: 259
sale: 55% off
55%=0.55
so 259×0.55=142.45
142.45 is the 55% of the original price
259-142.45=116.55
116.55 is the price after sale.
hope this would help. (*^ω^*)/
