In February of 2014, gas was about $3.37 per gallon. In February 2015, gas was about 2.25 per gallon. What is the percent decrease from 2014 to 2015?

Answer 1

According to the problem, the price decrease from $3.37 to $2.25. Let's find the difference

$3.37-2.25=1.12$

Then, we divide

$\frac{1.12}{3.37}=0.33$

Hence, the answer is 33%.
