To find the percentage decrease, we need to calculate how much the price has decreased and then divide that by the original price:
Decrease = $3.75 - $3.50 = $0.25
Percentage decrease = (Decrease ÷ Original price) x 100
= ($0.25 ÷ $3.75) x 100
= 6.7%
Therefore, the percentage decrease is 6.7% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent).
