    21.6%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Divide the previous bill by the current bill to find what percentage the current bill is of the previous bill

    98/125 = 0.784

    Subtract the decimal from 1 to change it from what the percentage is of the previous bill to how much the bill decreased by

    1 - 0.784 = 0.216

    Multiply by 100 to change the decimal into a percentage

    0.216 * 100 = 21.6

    21.6%
