Answer: 25%

Explanation:

The percent decrease is given by :-


\frac{\text{Decrease in amount}}{\text{Previous amount}}* 100

Given : A store decreases the price of an item from $120 to $90 .

Decrease in amount =
\$120-\$90=\$30

The percent decrease will be :_


(30)/(120)* 100=25\%

Hence, the percent decreases = 25%.
