Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1- 15/100 = 1- 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1- 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.

$125 is a "must budget" so it will be the constant in the inequality

The fountain is $30 per hour. If they spend x hours, then their budget for fountain will be
fountain = 30x

The inequality
Their budget is maximum $250, that means they are able to spend less than or equal to $250
constant + fountain ≤ 250
125 + 30x ≤ 250
