Percentage Decrease of Integers

Just about all math teachers have to explain to students why they are learning something or other. Because it is very unclear to students why something applies to their life. This particular topic we explore here is definitely not something that needs explaining. We calculate the percentage that something decreases to understanding how something is doing. If something loses value, we intrinsically what to know and quantify how much value it has lost. We could want to know this for many different reasons. It could be because we have to understand how poorly we are doing. It could also help us understand the sale price of something. These lessons and worksheets teach students how to calculate the percentage decrease found between two values.

(Amount of left or obtained or consumed) / (Total amount) × 100


It can also be restated as: Percentage Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Value x 100


How to Calculate It - To calculate the percentage decrease, you will need the original value and the new value. You have to find the difference between them. After you find the difference, you divide it by the original value and multiply it by 100.


The formula to calculate the percentage decrease of value, you can use the following formula.
