Dani experimented with a dollar bill and the copy machine a dollar bills length is 6.1 inches and width is 2.6 inches, she reduced the dollar bill so its length was 80% of its original size. Dani then reduced the copy of the dollar bill a second time by making at 15% smaller than the copy, what is the new length of the second copy?

6.1inches * 80% = 4.88inches
100% - 15% = 85%
4.88 inches * 85% = 4.148inches
