Question

How to find decrease in percentage
Pls keep it simple and easy to understand

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Calculate the change (subtract old value from the new value)

Step 2: Divide that change by the old value (you will get a decimal number)

Step 3: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign)

 

Note: when the new value is greater then the old value, it is a percentage increase, otherwise it is a decrease.

                                                        OR

Step 1: Divide the New Value by the Old Value (you will get a decimal number)

Step 2: Convert that to a percentage (by multiplying by 100 and adding a "%" sign)

Step 3: Subtract 100% from that

 

Note: when the result is positive it is a percentage increase, if negative, just remove the minus sign and call it a decrease.
