First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Decrease = Original Number - New Number
Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% Decrease = Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100
If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage increase.
