You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the decrease is by 910.

ANY percentage change...increase or decrease is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS measured from the ORIGINAL number...here the original is 3340.

so (910/3340) is the fractional decrease.
and (910/3340)*100 is the percentage decrease.
--> 27.2%
