Answer 1

Answer:

 Percent decrease in the price of sports drink  = 13.49 %

Explanation:

  Percentage decrease in price = $\frac{Old price - New price}{Old price} *100$

 Old price = 2.89$

 New price = 2.50$

   Percentage decrease in price

                  $=\frac{2.89-2.50}{2.89} *100\\\\=\frac{0.39}{2.89} *100\\ \\ =13.49%$

  Percent decrease in the price of sports drink  = 13.49 %
