    Last year, Shantell bought a car for 24 000 dollars. It decreases to 21 000 dollars this current year.

    Let’s find for the percentage that it decreased.

    => in 24 000 the 50% is 12 000 as we all know since it’s divided by 2. So meaning, the possible answer is less than 50%.

    => now 25% of 24 000 is 6 000, and the amount that we’re looking is 3000, thus, the answer is 12.5%

    => 24 000 * 0.125 = 3000

    => 24 000 - 3000 = 21 000
