Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒  The price of item first change form $120 to $100  

⇒  Decreased value = $120−$100=$20

⇒  % Decreased =  

120

20

​  

×100=16.66%≈17%

⇒  Then price decreased again from $100 to $80

⇒   Decreased value = $100−$80=$20

⇒   % Decreased =  

100

20

​  

×100=20%

⇒  We can see that first decreased is 17% and second is 20%, so Second decreased is larger.
