Reducing with a photocopier

Help! Someone must know the answer to this question. I have some
Sunbonnet Sue applique patterns which will fit a 12" block. I want them
to fit in a 10" block. What percentage should I reduce them on a
photocopier? I am sure I have a chart that answers questions like this
(somewhere), but I can't find it just now.

I think you reduce it by 17 percent. But I wouldn't take my word for it - I'd try one and see if it works
before I did them all!

Very good, Louise. 83% of 12 = 9.96. Can't do much better than that! I'm
just so proud. Polly

And I even figured it out without having to ask my math major brother!

Howdy!

If only it were that simple, reducing w/ a photocopier.

....maybe that's why so many people sit on the copier, they're
trying to reduce the size of their butts? (but do they really need
that copier photo of it?)

Good luck!

characters is on a "reducing diet"
