<PRE><B>Question 891644</B>
use this equation:
Percent decrease = (Older – Newer) ÷ Older
---------------------
Let x be the new price
{{{0.25=(29-x)/29}}}
Multiply each side of the equation by 29:
{{{7.25=29-x}}}
Add -29 to each side of the equation:
{{{-x=-21.75}}}
Multiply each side of the equation by -1:
{{{highlight(x=21.75)}}}
