Solution:

We know that:

$Original \ price = \$11$

$Sale \ price = \$9.25$

$(9.25)/(11) + (1.75)/(11) =100\%$

Simplify the equation to find the percent off:

$(9.25)/(11) + (1.75)/(11) =100\%$

$84\% + \bold{16\%} = 100\% \space\ \space\ \space\ \ \ \ \ [Rounded]$

This means that the original price has decreased about 16%.
