Answer:

[tex]20\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question in English is

In one appliance store, a refrigerator cost $8,900 and they lowered it to $7,120. What percentage did they lower?

we know that

$8,900 ------> represent the 100%

so

by proportion

[tex]\frac{100\%}{\$8,900}=\frac{x\%}{\$7,120}\\ \\x=7,120*(100\%)/8,900\\ \\x=80\%[/tex]

therefore

the percentage is equal to

[tex]100\%-80\%=20\%[/tex]
