Let's solve this step-by-step.

The original price of the item is $17$ dollars, and it is on sale for **55% off**. 

### Step 1: Calculate the discount
\[
\text{Discount} = 17 \times \frac{55}{100} = 17 \times 0.55 = 9.35
\]

### Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original price
\[
\text{Sale Price} = 17 - 9.35 = 7.65
\]

### Final Answer:
The sale price is **$7.65**.
