(D) 20
(E) 25
25 - > 20

[spoiler]or a decrease of 5 over 25 = 20 % [/spoiler]

grrrrr....made a mistake....jumped the gun..... :(

[spoiler]the answer will be 25%

1 in 4 parts is the crust so (1-x)/(4-x) = 1/5 :) is it correct now?[/spoiler]

my two cents
let it be all pie 100
crust-25
(25-x)/(100-x)=0,2
x=6,25
6,25/25=0,25*100=25%
so E
