(5) You pay 117.5% of the price quoted so you pay
... (117.5/100) x £1099 = £1291.33 to the nearest penny.

(6) The reduction is £3.99 - £2.65 = £1.34 so the % reduction is
... (1.34/3.99) x 100 = 33.6% to 1 d.p.

(7) A bit tricky, this one! The answer is not £54!
... The £45 that you paid was 80% of the original price.
... so £45 = (80/100) x the original price
... so 100 x £45 = 80 x the original price
... so the original price is given by (100/80) x £45 = £56.25.
