To find the percentage decrease from 200 to 150, follow these steps:
1. Determine the initial value and the final value:
- Initial value: 200
- Final value: 150
2. Calculate the absolute decrease in value:
- Subtract the final value from the initial value: [tex]\( 200 - 150 = 50 \)[/tex]
- So, the decrease in value is 50.
3. Calculate the percentage decrease:
- Use the formula for percentage decrease: [tex]\(\frac{\text{Decrease in value}}{\text{Initial value}} \times 100\)[/tex]
- Plug in the values: [tex]\(\frac{50}{200} \times 100 = 0.25 \times 100 = 25.0\%\)[/tex]
So, the decrease in value from 200 to 150 is 50, and the percentage decrease is 25.0%.
