Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

ok so given that the gas price in January was $4.33 per gallon and the gas price in February was $3.89 per gallon, we can now calculate the percent decrease:

percent decrease = (($4.33 - $3.89) / $4.33) * 100

percent decrease = ($0.44 / $4.33) * 100

percent decrease ≈ by 10.18%

the average gas price decreased by approximately 10.18% from January to February
