Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did it was doing 12/20 to find what percentage of 12 is 20. I found out that was 60%, which means that the sweater's price was reduced by 40%. However, there are other ways of doing this.

A better way is solving for percentage is: initial value - final value / initial value

|20-12|/20 = 0.4 or 40%

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ 20 = .6

You can convert the .6 to a percentage by multiplying it:

.6 x 100 = 60%

If 12 is 60% of 20, then that means 40% was taken away.
