Constant percentage may be translated to a growth factor.

Explanation:

Say something grows with a constant percentage of 10% every period, we may say that the growth factor g=1.10
This means that after t periods, the something has grown to g^t=1.10^t its original value (as in compounded interest).

If something dimished with a a constant percentage of say 10% every period, this means that the growth factor is 0.90, and after t periods only 0.90^t of it is left.

You can rework these results to total percentage by multiplying by 100%
