Answer:

30%

Explanation:

in order to find the percentage of the price decrease,we must find the difference between the prices

250-175=75

the price has dropped 75$

to find the percentage, we do 75/250

which can be simplified to 3/10 or 30%

We can check this by finding 30% of 250 which is 75

75=75
