About percentage decrease

About X percent decrease

A percentage is a unit that expresses a percentage, and the whole is expressed as 100.

In the case of a percent decrease, the value obtained by subtracting the percentage of the decrease from the original amount of 100 will be the percentage after the decrease.

Original amount × (100 - Percentage of decrease) / 100 = Amount after percentage decrease

For example, if you have a class of 50 and the number of students is reduced by 20%, the number of students in the reduced class will be 50 × (100 - 20) / 100 = 40.

Decreased by 20 percent means that the original amount is 100 percent and it is now 80 percent. Because 80 / 100 = 0.8, it is the same as multiplying the original amount by 0.8.
