    New price = $108

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Old price for cleaning = $120

    New discount rate = 10% = 10 / 100 = 0.1

    Computation of new price for cleaning:

    New price = Old price for cleaning (1-New discount rate)

    New price = 120 (1-0.1)

    New price = 120 (1-0.1)

    New price = $108
