FINDING DECREASED PERCENTAGE -
To calculate the decreased percentage, you need to find the percentage decrease between two values. Here's how you can do it:
Decreased Percentage = ((Old Value - New Value) / Old Value) * 100
[Where, Old Value < New Value]
Where:
Let's work through an example:
Example.1) Suppose the temperature was initially 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and after cooling, it became 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculate the decreased percentage in temperature.
Ans.)
Old Value = 80 degrees Fahrenheit
New Value = 60 degrees Fahrenheit
Decreased Percentage = ((80 - 60) / 80) * 100 = (20 / 80) * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%
So, the temperature decreased by 25%. (Ans.)
Example.2) Suppose the temperature was initially 80 degrees Fahrenheit and it decreased to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculate the decreased percentage.
Ans.) Old Value = 80°F
New Value = 60°F
Decreased Percentage = ((80 - 60) / 80) * 100 = (20 / 80) * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%
So, the temperature decreased by 25%. (Ans.)
Example.3) Suppose the temperature was initially 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and after some cooling, it became 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculate the decreased percentage.
Ans.) Old Value = 80°F
New Value = 60°F
Decreased Percentage = ((80 - 60) / 80) * 100 = (20 / 80) * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%
So, the temperature decreased by 25%. (Ans.)
