Answer:

Explanation:

The item was originally $135.

It is reduced to $81 which means the price was reduced

by $54. (135 - 81)

You need to find what percent 54 is of 135.

54 divided by 135 = .40

.40 = 40%

The item is reduced by 40%.

You can prove this by calculating how much of the original price you are paying. You are paying 60% (40% off).

135 times .60 = 81

So the answer is 40%.
