Answer:price of the bicycle was reduced by 25%

Explanation:

Step 1

Old Price of bicycle = $120

New Price of bicycle= $90

Price decrease= $120-$90= $30

Step 2

Percentage decrease = Decrease / Original price x 100

= (30/120) x 100

1/4 x 100

= 25%

Therefore the percentage decrease in the price is 25%
