B Correct answer
Explanation

Decrease = 52000 - 35000 = 17000. Percentage = (17000 / 52000) * 100 = 1700 / 52 = 32.69%. Rounding gives 32.7%.

AI explanation

The price decrease is 52000 - 35000 = 17000. Using the percentage decrease formula, which is (decrease / original price) * 100, we calculate (17000 / 52000) * 100. This evaluates to approximately 32.7 percent.
