The price of an item has been reduced by 20%. The original price was $45. What is the price of the item now?

anonymous · Answer

BangkokGarret is wrong. You have tosubtract after you multiply. If you only multiply you are getting 60% of 90. You have to subtract in order to get the real sale price.
