The department store sells logo t-shirts at an original price of $12.50. Every month that a t-shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the price by 25%. Brianna calculated the price after two reductions: 12 dollars and 50 cents minus (12 dollars and 50 cents) (0.25) minus (12 dollars and 50 cents) (0.25) = 6 dollars and 25 cents What is Brianna’s error?

Answer:
Brianna didn't minus the 25% of the price after the first reduction, she took the 25% of the original price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Price:
$12.50 - 25%= $9.375
Price After 1st Reduction = $9.375
Second Reduction:
$9.375 - 25%= $7.03125
Price After 2nd Reduction = $7.03125
The actual price after the second reduction is $7.03125
