Percent change basically means what percent of the first number is the difference between the two numbers.
So the difference is 85-65 = 20. 20 is what percent of 85? TO find this let's make it an algebra problem with x being multiplies by 85 to get 20
85x = 20
85 = .235
As a percent this is 23.5
So if we take 23.5% of 85 away from 85 we get 65.
