Mathematical Formulas

Mode 1: Percentage Decrease Between Two Values

Percentage Decrease (%) = [(V₁ - V₂) / V₁] × 100%

Example: A price drops from $100 to$ 80: ((100 - 80) / 100) × 100 = 20% decrease

Mode 2: Subtract a Percentage from a Number

Reduction Amount = V₁ × (P / 100)
Final Value = V₁ - Reduction Amount

Example: Deduct 25% from 200: Reduction = 200 × 0.25 = 50 → Final = 200 - 50 = 150
