Yeah i think there is an always/sometimes/never question already for this.

This is OK. I'm not sure if we wrote an always/sometimes/never question, but if we didn't then it would be an excellent addition.

Too many decimal places are retained in the advice.  In two places (step and advice), $x$ is referred to as the "percentage multiplier". Unless I'm out of touch with the terminology, I would call this a decimal multiplier.

This step could be specific to the question variables and gaps, perhaps asking for the decimal multiplier for the decrease, and then the first two month.

There are no precision hints given, though the students need to round to 2 decimal places.
