The sale price of the shirt is $162.5

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed in the form of a fraction by 100. The percentage of a number is defined as the value of the number out of 100. Percentage does not have any unit of measurement.

If the regular price is $30 and the sale is 45%,it means the $30 represents the other 55% of the sale price. So it can be written as

sale price= 55%×regular price

Here sale price is taken as s

s= 55%×$30

Solving this for s, we get

s= (55/100)×$30

s=0.55×$30

s=$16.5

So, the sale price is $16.5
