To determine a percentage decrease, ascertain the actual decrease, then divide this by the base number and multiply the result by 100.
Decrease = a - b
The base number (the number on which the decrease is based) = a
Therefore, the percentage decrease = 100 x (a - b)/a %
EXAMPLE : What is the percentage decrease of 15 to 11.
Decrease = 15 - 11 = 4 : Base number = 15
Percentage decrease = 100 x 4/15 = 262/3 or 26.67%
