Decrease in Percentages


To understand this concept, let us start with an agenda or a plan to go further which will make us stay organized all through the explanation. The explanation will begin with the introduction to the concept followed by the introduction to the concept of percent-ages, which will be followed by the change in the same and then the polarity or the direction of the change will be seen, then what do we with just finding out the solution the next step will obviously be the interpretation part which requires the complete understanding of the concept.

The concept which will be dealt is the same given in the header. The change can always be an increase or a Percentage Decrease; it can be either way round. So it is necessary for us to learn both the method of calculations, actually both require the same formula which is the Percent Decrease Formula, the only difference will be the final answer, that too in the interpretation part, since obviously without understanding the number one can never say if it is an increase or a decrease in the change occurred. Before starting with, one has to be clear with the concepts of pct to solve the questions easily without much strain.

Let us now try to answer the question of how to Calculate Percentage Decrease. Answering this question is never a great task, it is all about the numbers we get for solving, and one can easily solve such type of questions, if one understands the problem and interprets the Percent Decrease. Let us consider an example to get a better understand Calculating Percent Decrease of the numbers whose initial value that is the original value is 50 and the final value is 25; the answer for this question is 50 – 25 / 50 * 100 = 50%, the answer shows us that there is an 50 % decrease in the final value from the original value and that shows the decrease.

The fact is that anyone can solve such problems of increase or decrease, but the interpretation part can only be done by the person who completely understood the concept. The final interpretation shows us the direction of change that is it shows whether the change is positive or negative and increase or decrease in the number in terms of percentages which makes the concept complete with the final interpretation.
