To decrease a number means to take away, or subtract, something from the number.
The amount of decrease from a larger number to a smaller number expressed as a percentage of the larger number. Going from 10 to 7 is a 30% decrease.
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%
