Answer:

9.8 percent decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease, we take the original value and subtract the new value and divide by the original value.

percent decrease = (original - new)/ original

                                = (23.5 - 21.2)/ 23.5

                                =2.3/23.5

                                =.09787234


This is in decimal form.  Multiply by 100 to put it in percent form

9.787234 percent

Round to the nearest tenth so we look at the 8 and round up.

9.8 percent decrease
