To find percent decrease:
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the old price (120) by the new price (100) and divide your answer (20) by the old price (120) Always divide by the \"old\" price or number.
\n" ); document.write( "120-100=20
\n" ); document.write( "20/120= .17
\n" ); document.write( "move decimal two placed to the right and you have 17%
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
