Since the price has decreased from $200 to $150, the decrease in price is $50.

To find the percentage decrease, we can use the formula:

Percentage Decrease = (Decrease in Price / Original Price) * 100

Percentage Decrease = ($50 / $200) * 100
Percentage Decrease = 0.25 * 100
Percentage Decrease = 25%

Therefore, the percentage of decrease is 25%.

The answer is B) 25%
