ANSWER

The percentage decrease is 10.4%.

EXPLANATION

To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,

Percentage decrease

= \frac{new \: price - old \: price}{old \: price} \times 100\%

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.

Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.

= \frac{2.15 - 2.40}{2.40} \times 100\%

= \frac{ - 0.25}{2.40} \times 100\%

= - 0. 10416667 \times 100\%

= - 10.416667\%

To the nearest tenth, we have:

- 10.4\%

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.
