`33.3\%`

Explanation:

Given: price of a video game was reduced from
`\$60` to
`\$45`

To find: percentage decrease in the price of the Vedic games

Solution:

Old price of the game
`=\$60`

New price of the game
`=\$45`

Decrease in the price of the Vedic games
`=\$60-\$45=\$15`

Percentage decrease in the price of the Vedic games = (Decrease in the price of the Vedic games × 100) ÷ New price of the game

`=(15(100))/(45) =(100)/(3)\%=33.3\%`
