Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the percentage using the following equation:


(v_i-v_f)/(v_i)*100

Where vi is the initial price and vf is the final price. So, replacing vi by 500 and vf by 375, we get:


(500-375)/(500)*100=(125)/(500)*100=25\text{ \%}

Therefore, the price of the piano was reduced by a 25%
