Answer:

33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The actual price of the shirt = $36

Price on sale = $24

We need to find the percent of the decrease. The formula for the percentage is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100[/tex]

Putting all the values,

[tex]\%=\dfrac{24-36}{36}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%[/tex]

So, the percentage decrease in the price of the shirt is 33.34%.
