Question

The department store sells logo t-shirts at an original price of $12.50. Every month that a t-shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the price by 25%. Brianna calculated the price after two reductions:

12 dollars and 50 cents minus (12 dollars and 50 cents) (0.25) minus (12 dollars and 50 cents) (0.25) = 6 dollars and 25 cents

What is Brianna’s error?

Answer 1

On the second reduction, she reduced 25% of the original T-Shirt's price. She should have reduced the price of the T-Shirt after one reduction.
