To find percentage decrease of something, we use this general formula:

percentage decrease = [tex]\frac{original - new}{original} * 100[/tex]

Plugging in original value of 300 and new value of 60 will give us:

[tex]\frac{300-60}{300}*100\\=\frac{240}{300}*100\\=0.8*100\\=80[/tex].

So we have a 80% decrease. Answer choice C is correct.

The percent decrease is 80%.
