Answer 1

the correct answer is B) 25%

Explanation:

If half of 200 is 100 (50%) and you're trying to find out what 150$ is equal to from the decrease rate, you divide 50 in half because youre finding the percentage of $200 to $150 and there's not much of a difference, so 25%.

Answer 2

25 percent is the correct answer
