First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Decrease = Original Number - New Number

Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% Decrease = Decrease : Original Number * 100

If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage increase.

Thus, the answer is a 86.7% (rounded) increase.
