    Hey Destinee!

    Let's start by calculating the 'amount' of decrease.

    196 - 160 = amount of change.

    To calculate the 'percent' of change,

    divide your 'amount of change' by the original price.

    Percent decrease=decrease/original

    196-160=decrease=36

    percent decrease=36/196=0.18367 ...

    about 18.4% decrease
