D 3%
E 50%
To find the percentage of decrease, we need to find the difference between the original price and the new price, divide that by the original price, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Difference = Original Price - New Price
= $200 - $150
= $50
Percentage of Decrease = (Difference / Original Price) x 100
= ($50 / $200) x 100
= 25%
Therefore, the answer is A) 25%.
