(1 - 30%) × 47 = ? Number 47 decreased by 30% (30 percent) of its value (percentage decrease) and calculated absolute change (actual difference)
Decrease 47 by 30% of its value
Detailed calculations & verification
Introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
30% = 30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Decrease number by 30% of its value.
Percentage decrease = 30% × 47
New value = 47 - Percentage decrease
Calculate the New Value
New value =
47 - Percentage decrease =
47 - (30% × 47) =
47 - 30% × 47 =
(1 - 30%) × 47 =
(100% - 30%) × 47 =
70% × 47 =
70 ÷ 100 × 47 =
70 × 47 ÷ 100 =
3,290 ÷ 100 =
32.9
Calculate absolute change (actual difference)
Absolute change (actual difference) =
New value - 47 =
32.9 - 47 =
- 14.1
Proof.
Calculate percentage increase...
... And see if we get as a result
the absolute change (actual difference).
Percentage decrease =
30% × 47 =
30 ÷ 100 × 47 =
30 × 47 ÷ 100 =
1,410 ÷ 100 =
14.1
So we have proven that the calculations are correct.
For positive numbers
Absolute change (actual difference) =
- 1 × Percentage decrease
Answer:
47 decreased by 30% = 32.9
Absolute change (actual difference):
32.9 - 47 = - 14.1
Signs: % percent, ÷ divide, × multiply, = equal, ≈ approximately equal, / fraction bar;
Writing numbers: comma ',' as thousands separator; point '.' as a decimal mark;

Decrease numbers by percentages of their values and calculate the absolute percentage change (difference)
How to calculate the new value of a number by decreasing it by percentage of its value and the absolute percentage change (difference)
- Percentage decreased number = Initial value - Absolute percentage change (difference)
- Absolute percentage change (difference) = Percentage decrease % × Initial value
- Percentage decreased number = Initial value - Percentage decrease % × Initial value = (1 - Percentage decrease %) × Initial value
- In conclusion:
Percentage decreased number = (1 - Percentage decrease %) × Initial value
Initial value = Percentage decreased number / (1 - Percentage decrease %)
Absolute percentage change (difference) = Percentage decrease % × Initial value = New value - Initial value
Examples of calculations on how to decrease a number by percentage of its value and calculate the absolute percentage change:
- If Percentage decrease % = 20%, (1 - Percentage decrease %) = 1 - 20% = 100/100 - 20/100 = 80/100 = 0.8 => Percentage decreased number = 0.8 × Initial value, and Initial value = Percentage decreased number / 0.8; Absolute percentage change (difference) = New value - Initial value;
- If Percentage decrease % = 5%, (1 - Percentage decrease %) = 1 - 5% = 100/100 - 5/100 = 95/100 = 0.95 => Percentage decreased number = 0.95 × Initial value, and Initial value = Percentage decreased number / 0.95; Absolute percentage change (difference) = New value - Initial value;
- If Percentage decrease % = 120%, (1 - Percentage decrease %) = 1 - 120% = 100/100 - 120/100 = -20/100 = -0.2 => Percentage decreased number = -0.2 × Initial value, and Initial value = Percentage decreased number / -0.2; Absolute percentage change (difference) = New value - Initial value;
- If Percentage decrease % = -30%, (1 - Percentage decrease %) = 1 - (-30%) = 1 + 30% = 100/100 + 30/100 = 130/100 = 1.3 => Percentage decreased number = 1.3 × Initial value, and Initial value = Percentage decreased number / 1.3; this is in fact a percentage increase of the initial number; Absolute percentage change (difference) = New value - Initial value.
