Answer:

50% decease

Explanation:

A change from 8 to 4 represents a negative change (decrease) of -50%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent = New - Old/Old x 100

Percent = 4-8/8 x 100

Where: 8 is the old value and 4 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -50 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.

Hence, 50% decrease

Check Answer:

8 x 50% = 4

8 - 4 = 4

Hence, 50% decrease is the correct answer.
