Answer: The cost of operation was reduced by 21.29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of operation earlier = $21,840 per month

Cost of operation now = $17,190 per month

Difference between them is given by

$21,840 - $17,190

=$4,650

Percentage by which the cost of operation was reduced is given by

$\dfrac{4650}{21840}\times 100\\\\=21.29\%$

Hence, the cost of operation was reduced by 21.29%.
