To calculate the percent decrease, we need to find the difference between the two amounts and divide it by the original amount, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
The difference between $4,500 and $2,921 is $4,500 - $2,921 = $1,579.
To find the percent decrease, we divide $1,579 by the original amount ($4,500) and multiply by 100:
($1,579 / $4,500) x 100 = 35%
Therefore, the answer is D) 35%.
