This problem is about percentages.

We know that Jack's health plan decreased from $325 to $115.

To find the percentage that represents this decreased, we just need to divide the least numbers by the greater number


(115)/(325)=0.35

Then, we multiply this result by 100, to get it in percentage


0.35\cdot100=35

Therefore, the right answer is 35%.
