Calculate Percent Reduction Between Two Values
Percentage Decrease Formula
$$\text{Percentage Decrease} = \left( \frac{\text{Original Value} – \text{New Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100\%
$$
Explanation:
Subtract the new value from the original value, divide by the original value, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage decrease.
Percentage Decrease – Calculation Example
- Original value: 80
- New value: 60
- Step 1: 80 – 60 = 20
- Step 2: 20 / 80 = 0.25
- Step 3: 0.25 × 100 = 25%
Result: 25% decrease
