Answer:

60%

Explanation:


(12)/(20) * (x)/(100)

12 * 100 is 1200

1200/20 = 60

So, therefore the sweater was reduced by 60%.

Hope this helps, have a great day:)

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

To find the reduction percentage, divide 12 by 20, then multiply by 100:

12/20

= 0.6

0.6(100)

= 60

So, the sweater was reduced by 60%
