Answer:

The answer is 10%.

Explanation:

Solution:

To get the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt, you have to subtract 46.58 - 41.92 = 4.66 .

Then the divide 4.66 / 46.58 = 0.10004294 .

Then round the decimal and you will get 0.10 .

Then move 2 steps from the decimal then you will get the percentage 10.

So the answer is 10%.
