Answer:

56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the initial price is reduced by 45% means it is the 55% of the initial price (45+55=100)

$0.55x = 31 \\ x = \frac{31}{0.55} = 56.36$

$Domain:x\neq-3\\\\\dfrac{2x}{x+3}\leq3\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{x+3}-3\leq0\\\\\dfrac{2x}{x+3}-\dfrac{3(x+3)}{x+3}\leq0\\\\\dfrac{2x}{x+3}-\dfrac{3x+9}{x+3}\leq0\\\\\dfrac{2x-(3x+9)}{x+3}\leq0\\\\\dfrac{2x-3x-9}{x+3}\leq0\\\\\dfrac{-x-9}{x+3}\leq0\Rightarrow(x+3)(-x-9)\leq0\\\\x=-3,\ x=-9\\\\x\in(-\infty,\ -9]\ \cup\ (-3,\ \infty)$
