Answer:

Your answer would be B. [tex]30[/tex]%

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out the decrease, you would first subtract the two numbers.

[tex]1053 - 737.1 = 315.9[/tex]

Next, you would multiply the number by [tex]1053[/tex].

[tex]\frac{315.9}{1053} = .3[/tex]

Then, you would multiply that by [tex]100[/tex].

[tex].3 * 100 = 30[/tex]

The answer would be [tex]30[/tex]%.

[tex]1053 * .3 = 315.9[/tex]

[tex]1053-315.9 = 737.1[/tex]
