A department store sells t-shirts for $16.00. Every month that a t-shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25

algol13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 25% of 16 = $=\frac{25}{100}*8=\frac{1}{4}*8=2$

Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14

B= 25% of 14

$=\frac{25}{100}*14=\frac{1}{4}*14=\frac{7}{2}$

= 3.5

Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5

C = 25% of 10.5

$=\frac{25}{100}*10.5=\frac{10.5}{4}$

= 2.625 = $ 2.63

Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87
