Please help if you can, no links please! At a local department store, shirts typically cost $16. However, due to a special, the shirts are reduced to $12. What percent of the original price has the shirts been reduced to?

Answer: $12 is % of $16.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: 100 ÷ 16 = 6.25

STEP 2: 12 x 6.25 =  75

              16 x 6.25 = 100

Now we can see that our fraction is 75/100, which means that 12/16 as a percentage is 75%.

We can also work this out in a simpler way by first converting the fraction 12/16 to a decimal. To do that, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator:

12/16 = 0.75

Once we have the answer to that division, we can multiply the answer by 100 to make it a percentage:

0.75 x 100 = 75%

hope this helps!

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price:-

= $16

Price after reduction:-

= $12

Decrease in amount:-

= $(16 - 12)

= $4

Percentage decrease:-

= (Decrease in amount/Original amount × 100)%

= (4/16 × 100)%

= 25%

∴ 25% of the original price has the shirts been reduced.
