Question

A shirt originally cost $39.38, but it is on sale for $31.50. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt? If necessary, round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract the new price from the original price

$39.38-31.50=7.88$

2. divide the difference by the original number

$7.88$ ÷ $39.38$$=.2001$

3. multiply this number by 100

$(.2001)100=20%$
