Start off by finding how much the price was reduced. 225-195=30, so it was reduced by $30. This can be put into fraction form as 30/225. Now simply divide that to get about 0.1333, or about 13% when rounded to the nearest whole percentage.

Answer:

13.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

the television originally had a price of $225, this will be our 100%.

After that, the television was at a price of $195

which means that the amount discounted was:

225 - 195 = 30

so what we must find is what percentage represent that $ 30 with respect to the $ 225

We have the following

quantity       percentage

 $225      ⇒       100%

  $30        ⇒         x

This can be solved by a rule of three, where we multiply the cross quantities and divide by the remaining number:

[tex]x=\frac{30*100}{225} =\frac{3000}{225}=13.333[/tex]

the percentage the television set was reduced is 13.33%
