Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract starting value minus the final value (decrease)

[tex]\$5.75 - \$4.60\\\\= 5.75 - 4.60 \\\\= 1.15[/tex]

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number

[tex]1.15 \div 5.75\\\\= \frac{1.15}{5.75}\\\\= 0.2[/tex]

Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get a percent decrease

[tex]0.2 \times 100\\\\= 20[/tex]

Therefore, the percent decrease of the price of paper per package is 20%

Note: If the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not a decrease.
