Final answer:

To find the equivalent percentage of a reduction and the new price after a price reduction of 15k in the naira.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equivalent percentage of a reduction of 15k in the price, we need to divide the reduction by the original price and then multiply by 100.

Percentage reduction = (15k / original price) x 100

For example, if the original price of the T-shirt is 400, the reduction would be 15k. To find the equivalent percentage, we calculate: (15k / 400) x 100 = 37.5%

The new price of the T-shirt after the reduction would be the original price minus the reduction: 400 - 15k = 385k
