To solve this problem:

The regular price of the item is $65, and Greg bought it with a discount of 85%. This means he paid only 15% of the regular price.

Here's the calculation:
\[
\text{Amount paid} = \text{Regular Price} \times (1 - \text{Discount Percentage})
\]
\[
\text{Amount paid} = 65 \times (1 - 0.85) = 65 \times 0.15 = 9.75
\]

Thus, Greg paid **$9.75** for the item.
