#$75#

The new price will be #5/6# of #90#.

What will that be? Well, "of" means "multiplication", so multiply #5/6# and #90#.

#5/6# #xx# #90#

#5/6 xx 90/1#

#uarr# Anything over 1 is itself, so putting #90# over #1# doesn't change it's value.

#(5xx90)/(6 xx1)#

#450/6#

#75#

The new price is #$75#.
