<p>Increase in value = New number - Original number</p>

<p>Similarly, to find the percentage decrease, subtract the new number from the original number. Then divide that result by the original value, and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.</p>

<p>Remember, if the new value is higher than the original value, it represents a percentage increase. If the new value is lower, it represents a percentage decrease.</p>
