The answer really is A

I think it is D, because if you multiply 275 x .73(73%) and add 275 you get 475, and choice A does not add up.

Answer 36

It's asking for the percent decrease of 475 and 275, not 8

Answer 37

Answer 38

Yeah it is A because I had the same question on my Math test and A was the answer.
