The problem asks for two things:
1. The decrease in amount based on a 26.5% decrease.
2. The year-end amount after this decrease.

### Initial Information:
- Initial investment amount = \$8400
- Percentage decrease = 26.5%

### Solution Steps:
1. **Calculate the decrease in amount**:
   \[
   \text{Decrease} = 8400 \times \frac{26.5}{100} = 8400 \times 0.265
   \]

2. **Calculate the amount at the end of the year**:
   \[
   \text{Year-end amount} = 8400 - \text{Decrease}
   \]

Let me calculate the exact values now.The decrease in amount is **\$2226**, and the amount in Goran's account at the end of the year is **\$6174**.

Do you need any more details or explanations?

Here are some related questions to explore further:
1. What would the year-end amount be if the percentage decrease was 30%?
2. How much would Goran need to invest initially to have \$7000 after a 26.5% decrease?
3. If the decrease percentage were only 15%, what would the final amount be?
4. How does a percentage increase affect the final amount in similar scenarios?
5. How can the percentage decrease be determined if the year-end amount and the initial amount are known?

**Tip:** Always double-check percentage decreases by subtracting from 100% to ensure proper subtraction from the initial value.

Last year, Goran opened an investment account with $8400. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 26.5%. How much is this decrease in dollars? How much money was in his account at the end of last year?

Learn how to calculate a 26.5% decrease from an initial investment of $8400 and determine the year-end amount. This problem helps students understand percentage decrease and basic arithmetic operations, suitable for Grades 6-8.
