What Is Percentage Decrease?
Percentage decrease shows how much a value has decreased compared with its original value. It can be used to compare prices, sales, salaries, measurements, marks, traffic and other numerical values.
Percentage Decrease Formula
To calculate percentage decrease, subtract the new value from the original value, divide the difference by the original value and multiply the result by 100.
((Original Value − New Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100
Percentage Decrease Example
Suppose a product price decreases from 200 to 150. The difference between the two values is 50.
Difference = 200 − 150 = 50
Percentage Decrease = 50 ÷ 200 × 100 = 25%
Therefore, the value decreased by 25%.
