Answer:  The required common ratio is 0.79.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in a geometric series, each term is 21% less than the previous term.

We are to find the common ratio r for this geometric series.

Let the first term of the give geometric series be a.

Then, according to the given information, the second term of the geometric series will be

a_2=a-21\%\times a=a-\dfrac{21}{100}a=\dfrac{100-21}{100}a=\dfrac{79}{100}a=0.79a.

Therefore, the required common ratio for the given geometric series is given by

r=\dfrac{0.79a}{a}=0.79.

Thus, the required common ratio is 0.79.
