Answer:

The correct answer option is C. $257.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on percentage reduction

Given the initial value of gold reserves=$8590

Δpercentage= 100%-3%=97%

New value of gold= 97/100 × $8590

=$8332.30

the Initial value of gold- new value of gold

$8590- $8332.30

$257.70
