Answer:

9%

Explanation:

✯Hello✯

↪ We can formulate an equation to help us solve this

↪ 800(x%) = 728 in this case x=91

↪ We do 100-91 meaning that this is a 9% decrease on price

↪ To check that this is correct we can work out 9% of 800 which is 72

When subtracting 72 from 800 it is confirmed that 728 is the right amount
