a becuase like the other prob you divivde 20.95 by 15.10 and get 1.39 the multiply it by 20.95 and get 29.1 so its a decrease to the new price

I  got B , I did 20.95 * 39% = 8.1 , then I did 20.95*28% = 5.86. And when you subtract you get 20.95-15.1 = 5.85 , therefore it was A decrease in price of 28%- hope this helps - Bree :)
