Answer 1

a

The sale was for a 43% decrease.

Explanation:

The computation of the percent off of the coat during the sale is shown below:

Regular price is $35.25

And, in the sale the price is $19.99

So, the percent off would be

= ($35.25 - $19.99) ÷ ($19.99)

= 43% decrease

hence, the percent off of the coat during the sale is 43% decrease

Therefore the correct option is a.

And, all the other options are incorrect
