Ashley runs a hardware store. She has decided to apply a markdown of 15% to one item in order to draw customers into the store, and she will apply a markup of 10% to three different items, which she hopes the customers will purchase after purchasing the marked-down item. She has chosen four candidates for this process: a power drill with an initial price of $51.49, a ceiling fan with an initial price of $64.79, a miniature circular saw with an initial price of $45.99, and a screwdriver set with an initial price of $37.39. After applying the changes, the total cost of purchasing one of each item is $3.77 more than it was before applying the changes. Which item was marked down?
