    A 75% decrease

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You set up a ratio table.

    16 is 100%

    12 is with an unknown percent so classified as x, since your cross multiplying, your multiplying 16 with x and 12 with 100.

    You get 16x/16 = 1200/16

    The two 16 cross each other out and your left with x so x is equal to 75

    Thus 75%
