Question 585474: I was wondering how would you find the percentage of decrease, Traditions Clothing Store is having a sale. Shirts that were regularly priced at $20 are on sale for $17. What is the percentage of decrease in the price of the shirts?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Percent Decrease = [(Old - New)/Old] * 100
Percent Decrease = [(20-17)/20] * 100
Percent Decrease = [3/20] * 100
Percent Decrease = 0.15 * 100
Percent Decrease = 15%
