Answer:

46.75 dollars

Explanation:

If the jeans are on sale for 45% off, then they will cost 55% of the original price (100%-45%=55%).

Therefore, the sale price is:

85×55%

Change % into a decimal

= 85×0.55

= 46.75

Therefore, the sale price of the jeans is 46.75 dollars.

I hope this helps!
