A percent of decrease (percentage decrease) is when a value is reduced by a percentage of its original amount.

e.g. 100 decreased by 15 percent is 85.

A percent of increase (percentage increase) is when a value in increased by a percentage of its original amount.

e.g. 100 increased by 15 percent is 115.

That means how much something increases or decreases, expressed as a percentage - compared with the original amount. For example, if something increases from 300 units to 360 units, the increase is 60 units, or 20%, since the difference (60) is 20% of 300.
