What is percentage decrease?
Percentage decrease shows the relative drop from one value to another. For example, decreasing from 100 to 75 is not just a decrease of 25 units — it is a 25% decrease because the drop is measured relative to the original value.
Can percentage decrease be more than 100%?
In normal situations where the new value is zero or higher, percentage decrease cannot be more than 100%. A decrease from 100 to 0 is a 100% decrease. If values go below zero, the result may behave differently depending on the context.
