[~Answer~] (8.):
Heyyy. I'm Avery, and I'm always here to help!
I believe the percent may be 15% ($2,400 - 15% = $2,040)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[~Answer Explanation~}:
The percent of the difference is the rate of the difference * 100%
the percent of the difference = .15 * 100% = 15%
since the new price is less than the old price, that is the percent of the decrease.
(See if it'll work): $2,400- 15% = $2,040
And there's your answer <33

Whats the acctual question
X + y = 23000
x.08 + y.09 = 2040
x = 23000 - y
(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040
1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040
Simplify
.01y = 200
Simplify
Y = 20000
X + 20000 = 23000
X = 3000
CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040
.08x + 1800 = 2040
Simply .08x = 240
X = 3000
