(Original Price - Decreased Price)/Original all times 100
52-40/52 = 0.2307... x 100 = 23.1%

Answer: There is 23.07% of decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Charges at night during the summer = $52.00

Charges at night during a fall = $40.00

Decrease in charges is given by

[tex]\$52.000-\$40.00\\\\=\$12.00[/tex]

So, Percentage of decrease is given by

[tex]\dfrac{12}{52}\times 100\\\\=23.07\%[/tex]

Hence, there is 23.07% of decrease.
