Answer:

Holly will still pay 86% of the original price.

Explanation:

Given

  • Holly gets 14% off a shirt, so
  • Discount = 14%

To determine

What percent of the original price will still pay.

All we need is to subtract the percentage of discount from 100.

i.e.

100 - Discount = 100 - 14 = 86%

The amount left over would be what remains of the original price after Holly gets 14 % off a shirt.

Thus, Holly will still pay 86% of the original price.
