To solve the problem of finding the percentage decrease in price, we will follow these steps:

1. **Original price of the table** = $95.
2. **New selling price of the table** = $71.25.

### Step 1: Calculate the decrease in price
\[
\text{Decrease in price} = \text{Original price} - \text{New price} = 95 - 71.25 = 23.75
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the percentage decrease
\[
\text{Percentage decrease} = \left( \frac{\text{Decrease in price}}{\text{Original price}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{23.75}{95} \right) \times 100
\]
Now, I will calculate the percentage.

Let me compute that.The percentage decrease in price is **25%**.

1. How would the percentage decrease change if the table's new price was $80 instead?
2. Can you find the percentage increase if the table's price was increased from $95 to $120?
3. How do you calculate percentage change for multiple price adjustments?
4. What is the reverse operation for finding the original price given a percentage discount?
5. How do sales tax and discounts affect the final price when combined?

**Tip:** To check if a percentage decrease is correct, you can multiply the percentage decrease by the original price and verify the result matches the price difference.
