To find the percent decrease, we need to find the difference between the original price ($250) and the reduced price ($200) and then divide that difference by the original price:

Percent decrease = (original price - reduced price) / original price x 100%
Percent decrease = ($250 - $200) / $250 x 100%
Percent decrease = $50 / $250 x 100%
Percent decrease = 0.2 x 100%
Percent decrease = 20%
Therefore, the answer is C) 20%. To find the percent decrease, we need to find the difference between the original price and the reduced price, divide it by the original price, and then multiply by 100.

Difference: $250 - $200 = $50
Percent decrease: ($50/$250) x 100% = 20%

Therefore, the answer is choice C, 20%.
