To find the percent decrease, you can use the following formula:[tex]\[\text{Percent Decrease} = \left(\frac{\text{Original Amount} - \text{New Amount}}{\text{Original Amount}}\right) \times 100\][/tex]In your case:- Original Amount = P845- New Amount = P507Now, plug in the values:[tex]\[\text{Percent Decrease} = \left(\frac{845 - 507}{845}\right) \times 100\][/tex][tex]\[\text{Percent Decrease} = \left(\frac{338}{845}\right) \times 100 \approx 40\%\][/tex]So, the percent decrease in your electric bill is approximately 40%.
