Answer:

The percent decrease is 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new price - old price)/(old price) × 100%

percent change = (N1250 - N1500)/(N1500) × 100%

percent change = -250/1500 × 100%

percent change = -16.67%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

The percent decrease is 16.67%.
