Solution

The correct option is B 8.33%
Original price of the shirt = 54 dollars

Price of the shirt on sale = 49.50 dollars

Difference in the price = 54 - 49.50
=4.50 dollars

Percentage decrease = $\frac{C h a n g e i n p r i c e}{O r i g i n a l p r i c e} \times 100$

= $\frac{4.50}{54} \times 100$

= 8.33%
