A shirt originally cost $37.90, but it is on sale for $32.22. What is the percentage decrease of the price of the shirt? If necessary, round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we?

So, we must calculate the percent decrease such that the formula yields

((Original - New) / Original)* 100

((37.90 - 32.22) / 37.90) * 100

0.1498680739(100)

= 14.98 = 15% decrease

I hope this helped!
