To calculate the percent decrease in price, we need to find the difference in price and then express it as a percentage of the original price.
The difference in price is:
$150 - $65 = $85
To express this as a percentage of the original price:
($85/$150) * 100 = 56.67%
Rounding to the nearest percent gives us the answer of:
57%
