Answer 1

Hi!

If the price has been reduced by 55 percent, this means we are paying for (100-55) percent of the original price now. That is 45%. The original price is $60. Therefore, 45% of $60 dollars would be calculated like this:

0.45 * 60 = 27.

New lowered price is $27.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Answer 2

If the item was reduced by 55%, then it still has 45% of its value.

So, 45% of $60 = .45 x $60 = $27.00 (Price now)
