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 find the percent decrease for each of the provided cases:

1. **25 points to 10 points**  
   Percent decrease = $\frac{(25 - 10)}{25} \times 100 = \frac{15}{25} \times 100 = 60\%$

2. **20 people to 16 people**  
   Percent decrease = $\frac{(20 - 16)}{20} \times 100 = \frac{4}{20} \times 100 = 20\%$

3. **16 bagels to 0 bagels**  
   Percent decrease = $\frac{(16 - 0)}{16} \times 100 = \frac{16}{16} \times 100 = 100\%$

4. **$150 to $75**  
   Percent decrease = $\frac{(150 - 75)}{150} \times 100 = \frac{75}{150} \times 100 = 50\%$

### Summary of correct answers:
1. 60% decrease
2. 20% decrease
3. 100% decrease
