Answer:

76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of the decrease can be calculated using the following equation:


\text{ \% decrease = }(v_i-v_f)/(v_i)*100

Where vf is the final value and vi is the initial value. So, we can replace vf by 12 dollars and vi by 50 dollars. So:


\begin{gathered} \text{ \% decrease = }(50-12)/(50)*100 \\ \text{ \% decrease = }76\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

So, the percentage of the decrease is 76%.
