    Answer:

    A. 15.2%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Subtract the new price from the old one to find the dollar amount that the water bottle price was reduced.

    1.65-1.40=0.25

    The price was reduced by 25 cents, but we need to find the percentage. To do that, we divide the price reduction by the original price.

    0.25/1.65=0.152

    And then move the decimal place over two spots (multiply by 100)

    15.2
