A percentage decrease calculator is a tool used to calculate the reduction of a value as a percentage of the original value. Here’s how it typically works:
Formula for Percentage Decrease:
Percentage Decrease=Original Value−New ValueOriginal Value×100
Steps to Use a Percentage Decrease Calculator:
- Enter the Original Value – This is the value before the decrease.
- Enter the New Value – This is the value after the decrease.
- Press Calculate – The calculator will give you the percentage decrease.
Example:
Let’s say the original price of a shirt was $50, and it is now $40.
- Original Value = $50
- New Value = $40
Percentage Decrease=50−4050×100=0.2×100=20%
The percentage decrease is 20%.
