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%.
