Answer: 70%
Solution Method 1:
1 - (84 / 280) = .7
.7 * 100 = 70%
Check:
280 * .7 = 196
280 - 196 = 84
Solution Method 2:
280 - 84 = 196
196 / 280 = .7
.7 * 100 = 70%
Check: 280 - (280 * .7) = 280 - 196 = 84

Previous (incorrect) answer:
84/280=.33333
100-33.333=66.666
66.666% decrease
you can check your work by multiplying 84 by 3 since .3333 is 1/3rd and you get 280
