Answer: 33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The temperature dropped from 75 degrees to 50 degrees.

Decrease in temperature ( in degrees) = 75-50=25

The formula to find the percent decrease :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Decrease in temperature}}{\text{Initial temperature}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{25}{75}\times100\\\\=33.3333333333\approx33\%\ \ \text{[Rounded to the nearest whole percent.]}[/tex]

Hence, the percent decrease in the temperature = 33%
