11. The price of a bottle of water at a store decreases from $1.65 to $1.40. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, what is the percent decrease in the price of the bottle of water?
A. 15.2%
B. 17.9%
C. 45.9%
D. 54.1%

A. 15.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the new price from the old one to find the dollar amount that the water bottle price was reduced.

The price was reduced by 25 cents, but we need to find the percentage. To do that, we divide the price reduction by the original price.

And then move the decimal place over two spots (multiply by 100)

15.2
