Hey Destinee!

Let's start by calculating the `amount` of decrease.
196 - 160 = amount of change.

To calculate the `percent` of change,
divide your `amount of change` by the original price.

percent decrease=decrease/original

196-160=decrease=36

percent decrease=36/196=0.18367...

about 18.4% decrease
