A certain article of clothing was discounted during a special sale to 3/4 of its original retail price. When the clothing didn't sell, it was discounted even further to 2/5 of its original retail price during a second sale. By what percent did the price of this article of clothing decrease from the first sale to the second sale?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers.
A) 50%
B) 33.33%
C) 25%
D) 46.66%
E) 12.5%
Say the original retail price of the item was $200.   The price after the first sale = 3/4 * $200 = $150.   The price after the second sale 3/4 *  200=

<output>150</output>
$150.   The price after the second sale= 2/5 * $200 = $80.   The percent change from the first sale to the second 2/5 *  200= 
<gadget id="calculator">2/5 *  200</gadget>
<output>80</output>
$80.   The percent change from the first sale to the second= (150 -80) / 150 = 1/3 = 46.66%.   Answer: 46.66%.
