here is ur answer•♪
Answer:
Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
- 25% = - 25/100 = - 25 ÷ 100 = - 0.25.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Decrease number by - 25% of its value.
Percentage decrease = - 25% × - 24
To decrease a negative number, do not subtract from it,
but add the 'percentage decrease'.
New value = - 24 + Percentage decrease
Calculate the New Value
New value =
- 24 + Percentage decrease =
- 24 + (- 25% × - 24) =
- 24 - 25% × - 24 =
(1 - 25%) × - 24 =
(100% - 25%) × - 24 =
75% × - 24 =
75 ÷ 100 × - 24 =
75 × - 24 ÷ 100 =
- 1,800 ÷ 100 =
- 18
Calculate absolute change (actual difference)
Absolute change (actual difference) =
New value - (- 24) =
- 18 - (- 24) =
- 18 + 24 =
6
Proof.
Calculate percentage decrease:
Percentage decrease =
- 25% × - 24 =
- 25 ÷ 100 × - 24 =
- 25 × - 24 ÷ 100 =
600 ÷ 100 =
6
For negative numbers
Absolute change (actual difference) =
Percentage decrease
Answer:
- 24 decreased by - 25% = - 18
Absolute change (actual difference):
- 18 - (- 24) = - 18 + 24 = 6
