Answer :

Answer:-

Working:-

[tex]=\frac{66-33}{66} (100)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (100)[/tex]

[tex]= 50[/tex]% decrease

50% decrease.


To calculate percentage decrease from 2 given numbers, we can do: original quantity - new quantity / original quantity.

For this question, first we work out what the original quantity - new quantity is. The original quantity is 66 and the new quantity is 33, so we do 66-33, equaling 33.

Original quantity - new quantity = 33
Original quanity = 66

Next, we substitute our numbers into our formula. 33/66.

This gives us 0.5.

We multiply it by 100 to change into a percentage.

0.5 x 100 = 50.

Therefore, there is a 50% decrease.
