Answer:
C. 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Original price of shirt = $42.39
Current sales price of shirt = $38.15
Required:
% decrease in the price of shirt
SOLUTION:
Percentage decrease in price of shirt = change in price over original price, multiplied by 100%
Change in price = original price - current price = $42.39 - $38.15 = $4.24
% decrease = [tex] \frac{4.24}{42.39}*100 [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{4.24*100}{42.39} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{424}{42.39} [/tex]
% decrease [tex] = 10.00 [/tex]
