Answer:
-30%
Step-by-step explanation:
currently, the perimeter is: 4 + 6 + 4 + 6 = 20 in.
when the width of 4 in is decreased by 3 in, the new width become (4-3) in = 1 in
therefore, the new perimeter is: 1 + 6 + 1 + 6 = 14 in
the change in perimeter is: 20 in - 14 in = 6 in
now, the percent of change in perimeter will be:
%
BUT because this change is a DECREASE, you have to put a NEGATIVE sign before the value to inducate that it's a decrease, so
change in perimeter = -30%
