I wrote 40.74 and it told me I was wrong, but even the solution shows 40.74. I'm unable to move forward.

"Nadia has 96 dollars in the bank today. Yesterday, she had 162 dollars in the bank. By what percentage did Nadia's bank account decrease over the past day? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.)

The bank account decreased by 162−96=66 dollars

66162≈40.74%"
