A percentage change.
When the new amount is less than the original amount, the percent of change is negative. This indicates a decrease, which is calculated by taking the difference between the original amount and the new amount, dividing it by the original amount, and then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage. For example, if the original amount is 100 and the new amount is 80, the percent change would be -20%.

No, because percentage changes are multiplicative, not additive. The second percentage change is not applied to the original amount but to the original amount after it has been changed by the first percentage change.
