What is percentage decrease?

Percent decrease refers to the percent change in the value when it is decreased over a period of time. Percentage decrease expresses the decrease in the given value with respect to its initial value in the form of a percentage.

Given:

In 2019= 16.6 million

% decrease = 5%

So,

% decrease= x - 16.6/ x

5% = x- 16.6/x

0.05= (x-16.6)/x

0.05x = x-16.6

-0.05 x = -16.6

x= 16.6/0.05

x= 16600000/0.05

x= 332,000,000

x= 33.2 million.
