VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2Given:
We note that the new value is lower than the original value and thus we have a decrease in the value.
We then first determine the amount of the decrease, which is obtained by subtracting the original value from the new value.
Next, we obtain the percent of decrease by dividing the amount of decrease by the original value and multiply the results by 100.
