A pharmaceutical company received $3 million in royalties on the first $ 20 million in sales of the generic equivalent of one of its products and then $9million in royalties on the next $ 108 million in sales. By approximately what percent did the ratio of royalties to sales decrease from the first $ 20 million in sales to the next $108 million in sales?

45%

1. $3 million in royalties on the first $ 20 million in sales i.e. 15%
2. $9million in royalties on the next $ 108 million in sales i.e. 8.33%

approximate percent, the ratio of royalties to sales decrease
= 15- 8.33 / 15 * 100
= 6.66 / 15 * 100
approx 45%
