    Step-by-step explanation:

    2250 decreased by 2% is

    2% of 2250 subtracted from 2250

    That's

    2% / 100% x 2250

    0.02 x 2250

    45

    So, decrease = 2250 - 45

    = 2205

    Now 2205 decreased by 3%

    3% of 2205

    3% / 100% x 2205

    0.03 x 2205

    66.15

    Decrease = 2205 - 66.15

    = 2138.85
