Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find a percentage, you divide the part out of the whole (numerator out of the denominator in a fraction);

4 ÷ 8 = 0.5

Once you have your decimal number, you need to move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left to turn it into a percentage;

0.5 = 50

Therefore, the percent decrease is 50%.
