30% off means you are paying for 70% of it.
55(70%) = 55(.70)
= $38.50

if you want a longer version of solving do this: $55 x 30%= $55 x 0.30 =$16.5 - the amount to be diminished from $55, therefore $55-$16.5 = $38.5...........this is the shorter version..the item is 30% discount then you will have to pay the 70% of the item therefore $55 x 0.7= $38.5.....good luck...

means 55-16,5=38,5
you will pay $38,5

If you have to ask, then you probably shouldn't buy it.
