Helen got a $7 reduction in the price of a pair of jeans that are normally $32. What is the approximate percent decrease in the price?

Find the decrease as a fraction of the original price: $7 ÷ $32 × 100% = 21.875%. This is approximately 21% (or about 22%), so the correct choice is “The percent decrease is approximately 21%.”
