Answer:
The price was decreased by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original price and subtract the new price
20-12 = 8
Divide by the original price
8/20 = .4
Change to a percent
40 %
The price was decreased by 40%

Percent Change = New Value − Old Value|Old Value| × 100%
Example: There were 200 customers yesterday, and 240 today:
240 − 200|200|× 100% = 40200 × 100% = 20%
A 20% increase.
Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%
Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!
|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%
I was in error by 12.5%
(Without using the absolute value, the error is −12.5%, meaning I under-estimated the value)
The difference between the two is that one states factual calculations and the other is a theoretical guess
If you're looking to find X, then X would equal 16, since 16 minus 3 would equal 13
