Question

A shirt originally cost $46.25, but it is on sale for $37.00. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt? If necessary, round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

Original cost = $46.25

Decreased cost = $37.00

Decrease in cost = 46.25 - 37.00 = $9.25

Percentage decrease

`= (9.25)/(46.25) * 100 \\ \\ = (92500)/(4625) \\ \\ = 20\%`
