Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

the percent of decrease from 10 to 5 is 50%

When 10 is decreased to 5:

10-5= 5

5 is half of 10.

1/2 as a percent is 50%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage difference (whether increase or decrease), you need to first find the difference by subtracting the original value from the new value;

Then, you divide this by the original value and then multiply by 100, so:

% difference = 100(new - original)/original;

So, to apply this:

% difference = 100(5-10)/10

= -50%

The negative sign indicates a decrease, whilst a positive value would mean an increase;

You must be careful how you phrase this, if using the negative sign, so:

You can say a -50% difference or a 50% decrease.

P.S. If you mention that it is a percentage decrease, do not include the negative sign, if simply stating that it is a percentage change or difference then you can include the negative sign, which will make it clear that it is a decrease from the original value.
