Find each percent decrease.
Select the correct answer in each row.
20% Decrease
100% Decrease
50% Decrease
60% Decrease
25 points to 10 points
20 people to 16 people
16 bagels to 0 bagels
$150 to $75


Let's calculate the percent decrease for each scenario:

### 1. **From 25 points to 10 points**
- Initial value: 25 points
- Final value: 10 points

\[
\text{Percent Decrease} = \frac{25 - 10}{25} \times 100 = \frac{15}{25} \times 100 = 60\%
\]

Answer: **60% Decrease**

---

### 2. **From 20 people to 16 people**
- Initial value: 20 people
- Final value: 16 people

\[
\text{Percent Decrease} = \frac{20 - 16}{20} \times 100 = \frac{4}{20} \times 100 = 20\%
\]

Answer: **20% Decrease**

---

### 3. **From 16 bagels to 0 bagels**
- Initial value: 16 bagels
- Final value: 0 bagels

\[
\text{Percent Decrease} = \frac{16 - 0}{16} \times 100 = \frac{16}{16} \times 100 = 100\%
\]

Answer: **100% Decrease**

---

### 4. **From $150 to $75**
- Initial value: $150
- Final value: $75

\[
\text{Percent Decrease} = \frac{150 - 75}{150} \times 100 = \frac{75}{150} \times 100 = 50\%
\]

Answer: **50% Decrease**

---

**Summary of Correct Answers:**
1. 25 points to 10 points: **60% Decrease**
2. 20 people to 16 people: **20% Decrease**
3. 16 bagels to 0 bagels: **100% Decrease**
4. $150 to $75: **50% Decrease**
