Question

A shirt originally cost $41.10, but it is on sale for $36.99. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt? If necessary, round to the nearest percent. A. 10% B. 90% C. 11% D. 8%

Answer 1

10%

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the decrease

Original price= $41.10

New price= $36.99

= 41.10-36.99

= 4.11

4.11/41.10 × 100

= 0.1×100

= 10%

Hence the percentage decrease is 10%
