    At the end of the summer season, the local farmer’s market marked down its swan gourds to $1.00 apiece. Throughout the summer, the swan gourds had sold for $3.50 each. What was the percent of decrease in cost?
    ::夏季末,当地农户市场将其天鹅瓜标记为每人1美元。 整个夏天,天鹅瓜每售3.50美元。 成本下降的几率是多少?

    In this concept, you will learn how to calculate the percent of decrease.
    ::在这个概念中,你会学会如何计算 下降的百分率。

    Finding Percent of Decrease
    ::查找下降百分比

    Prices can increase. Costs can increase. Numbers can increase. You can find the   when dealing with an increase. All of these things can also decrease. When there has been a decrease from an original  amount  to a new lower amount, you can find the  percent of decrease .
    ::价格可以增加。 成本可以增加。 数字可以增加。 您可以在处理增长时找到增长。 所有这些事情也可以减少。 当最初的金额下降到新的较低的金额时, 您可以找到下降的% 。

    The  percent of decrease  from one amount to another is the ratio of the amount of decrease to the original amount.
    ::从一个数额到另一个数额的下降百分比是减少数额与原数额的比率。

    To find the percent of decrease, follow these steps:
    ::为了找到下降的百分率, 遵循这些步骤:

    First, find the amount of decrease by subtracting the lower amount from the higher amount.
    ::首先,从较高数额中减去较低数额,以找到减少数额。

    Next, write a fraction in which the  numerator  is the amount of decrease and the  denominator  is the original amount.
    ::下一步,写一个分数,其中分子为减少量,分母为原始量。

    Percent of Decrease  = Amount of Decrease Original Amount

    Then, write the fraction as a percent.
    ::然后,将分数写成百分比。

    Now let’s look at how to apply these steps.
    ::现在让我们来看看如何实施这些步骤。

    Find the percent of decrease from 50 to 40.
    ::发现从50到40的下降百分比

    First, subtract 40 from 50.
    ::首先,50减40。

    50 40 = 10

    Next, write the fraction:
    ::下一步,写分数 :

    Percent of Decrease  = Amount of Decrease Original Amount = 10 50

    Then, write the fraction as a percent.
    ::然后,将分数写成百分比。

    One Way
    ::单行

    10 50 = x 100 50 x = 1 , 000 50 x 50 = 1 , 000 50 x = 20

    Another Way
    ::另一种方式

    10 50 = 10 ÷ 10 50 ÷ 10 = 1 5 5 ) 1.00 ¯     0.20 Divide to   2   decimal places. 0.20 = 20 %
    The answer is the percent of decrease from 50 to 40 is 20%.

    Let’s look at another example.
    ::让我们再看看另一个例子。

    Find the percent of decrease from 200 to 170.
    ::发现从200到170的下降率的百分比。

    First, subtract 170 from 200.
    ::首先,从200中减去170。

    200 170 = 30

    Next, write the fraction:  Percent of Decrease  = Amount of Decrease Original Amount = 30 200
    ::下一步,写入分数:减少的百分比 = 减少数额 = 原数额 = 30 200

    Then, write the fraction as a percent.
    ::然后,将分数写成百分比。

    One Way
    ::单行

    30 200 = x 100 200 x = 3 , 000 200 x 200 = 3 , 000 200 x = 15

    Another Way
    ::另一种方式

    30 200 = 30 ÷ 10 200 ÷ 10 = 3 20 20 ) 3.00 ¯     0.15 Divide to   2   decimal places. 0.15 = 15 %
    The answer is the percent of decrease from 200 to 170 is 15%.

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about the end of summer sale at the farmer’s market.
    ::更早之前, 农民市场夏季销售结束时,

    The swan gourds were marked down from $3.50 to $1.00. What was the percent of decrease?
    ::天鹅瓜从3.50美元下降到1美元。 下降的几率是多少?

    First, subtract to find the  difference .
    ::首先,减去以找到差数。

    3.50 1.00 = 2.50

    Next,  divide  that difference by the original amount.
    ::接下来,将差额除以原来的数额。

    2.50 ÷ 3.50 = 0.714

    Finally, convert this decimal to a percent.
    ::最后,将这个小数点转换为百分之一。

    0.714 = 71.4 %

    The answer is the percent of decrease from $3.50 to $1.00 is 71.4%.
    ::答案是,从3.50美元降至1美元的百分比为71.4%。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Jessie’s work schedule went from 20 hours to 18 hours. What was the percent of the decrease?
    ::杰西的工作时间表从20小时到18小时不等。 减幅的几率是多少?

    First, subtract to find the difference.
    ::首先,减去以找到差数。

    20 18 = 2

    Next, divide that difference by the original amount.
    ::接下来,将差额除以原来的数额。

    2 ÷ 20 = 0.1

    Finally, convert this decimal to a percent.
    ::最后,将这个小数点转换为百分之一。

    0.1 = 10 %

    The answer is the percent of decrease from 20 hours to 18 hours was 10%.
    ::答案是,从20小时减少到18小时的比例是10%。

    Example 3

    10 5 = 5

    Next, write the fraction:  Percent of Decrease  = Amount of Decrease Original Amount = 5 10
    ::下一步,写入分数:减少的百分比=减少的原数额=5 10

    Then, write the fraction as a percent:
    ::然后,将分数写成百分比:

    5 10 = x 100 10 x = 500 10 x 10 = 500 10 x = 50

    The answer is the percent decrease from 10 to 5 is 50%.
