There would be a 10% decrease/change

Kiana · Answer 2

Answer: 10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the difference between the prices:

Decrease: original cost - new cost

100,000-90,000 = 10,000

Then we have to divide the decrease by the original number and multiply it by 100 to obtain the percent decrease

(10,000/100,000) x 100 = 0.1 x100=10%
