So 20 is 80% of 25 = 0.8 therefore the percentage decreases it (100 - 80) percent i. e 20%

Spencer Ashley · Answer 2

To work out percentage decrease:

You get the highest/biggest number ($25), and the difference between the two ($5)

You divide the two, 25 / 5 = 5

100% / 5 = 20%

The decrease is 20%
