13. Miguel bought a shirt priced at $25.
He visited the same store a week later
and the shirt was priced at $17. What
was the percent decrease in the price of
the shirt?​

Answer :

absor201

There was 32% decrease in the price of shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Old price of shirt = $25

New price of shirt = $17

Difference = New price - Old price

Difference = 25 - 17

Difference = -$8

The negative sign indicates the decrease.

Decrease percent = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Old\ price}*100[/tex]

[tex]Decrease\ percent=\frac{8}{25}*100\\\\Decrease\ percent= \frac{800}{25}\\\\ Decrease\ percent= 32\%[/tex]

There was 32% decrease in the price of shirt.
