    -20%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The percentage of decrease is found by finding the difference between the two prices and dividing it by the orignal price.

    $18.80 - $23.50 = - $4.70. Now divide it by 23.50.

    -4.70 / 23.50 = - 0.20

    Times - 0.20 by 100 to convert to a percentage. - 20%
