January : 450 books
February : 300 books

the difference of Jan to Feb = 300 - 450 = -150
the percent of change = -150/450 x 100% = -33,3 %

Answer:

- 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of books sold  on January = 450,

While, the number of books sold on February = 300

Thus, the percent of change from January to February = \(\frac{\text{books sold on February-books sold on January}}{\text{books sold on January}}\times 100\)

\(=\frac{300-450}{450}\times 100\)

\(=-\frac{15000}{450}\)

\(\approx -33.33\%\)

Second option is correct.
