Question

Round to the nearest percent, if necessary.

A.
32%

B.
33%

C.
50%

D.
83%

Answer 1

To find percent increase or percent decrease, do this:

\(percent~change = \dfrac{new~amount - old~amount}{old~amount} \times 100\)

If the answer is negative, it's a percent decrease. If the percent is positive, it's a percent increase.

Answer 2

In your case,
old amount = $375
new amount = $250
Just substitute those values in the formula above and find the percent change.
