The percent of decrease is calculated by dividing the amount of decrease by the original amount and multiplying by 100. In this case, the amount of decrease is $130,000 - $120,000 = $10,000. The original amount is $130,000. So, the percent of decrease is $10,000 / $130,000 * 100 = 7.7%.

Solve -Ms $130,000\$ 130,000$130,000 , So She Lowered the Price To $120,000\$ 120,000$120,000
