GUYS, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION! Please it's due today, everybody else got their questions answered! Listen to me!

Jayden used a Groupon at the local pizza shop. Instead of paying $15, for the pizza, he paid $12.
Haley and Arianna agree that the percent of decrease is 20% but their explanations differ. Haley says to find the 20%, you have to determine what percent of 15 is 12. Arianna thinks you have to determine what percent of 15 is 3. Who is correct?

Answer:

Arianna is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

She is correct because they need to find how much is the discounted price, which is 3. So to see what percentage it is, they need to see how much 3 is worth in comparison to 15. If we spilt 15 into 5 parts to make every part worth 20%, the answer would be 3. Thus Arianna is correct.
