Answer 1

25

Explanation:

Formula for percent increase or decrease:

(new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

In this case,

old number = $28

new number = $21

Plug numbers into formula:

($21 - $28)/($28) * 100%

= -$7/$28 * 100%

= -0.25 * 100%

= -25%

A negative answer means a percent decrease.

A positive answer means a percent increase.

The percent change here is -25%, so it is a percent decrease of 25%
