Answer

The percentage decrease is 32%.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Steps:

  1. Calculate the absolute decrease in price

    Decrease = Original Price - New Price
    Decrease = K25 - K17 = K8

  2. Calculate the percentage decrease

    Percentage Decrease = (Decrease / Original Price) * 100%
    Percentage Decrease = (K8 / K25) * 100%
    Percentage Decrease = 0.32 * 100%
    Percentage Decrease = 32%
