Respuesta :

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: subtract 6.80 from 8.50

8.50 - 6.80 = 1.70

Step 2: divide 1.70  by 8.50

[tex]\frac{1.70}{8.50}[/tex]

= 1.70 ÷ 8.50

= 0.2

Step 3: multiply the 0.2 to 100

0.2 × 100 = 20

Therefore, there was a 20% decrease in the price of the action figure.
