If you decrease something by 4 percent,

you are keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original

so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96

If you have 100 pennies, and you give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies. You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with. This works no matter how much you start with.

Example:

you have 40 dollars

4% decrease

40 * .04 = 1.6 take this away

40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left

you keep 96 percent

40 * .96 = 38.4 left

What is decreasing and increasing order?

A set of data is said to be in descending order, often referred to as decreasing order, when it is arranged from highest to lowest or largest to smallest.

The same concepts apply regardless of the type of information you're working with, whether it's letters, dates, sizes of things or any other group of information like numbers or dates.

For instance, arranging a group of numbers in descending order means doing so from biggest to smallest value.

Ascending order, often known as ascending order of importance, is the exact opposite of declining order.

The order of the items is lowest to highest value. The lowest value is placed first in the order, while the highest value is placed last.
