Percent Decrease = [(Old - New)/Old] * 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Percent Decrease = [(390-273)/390] * 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Percent Decrease = [117/390] * 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Percent Decrease = 0.3 * 100\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Percent Decrease = 30%\r
