A member asked:
I am a pharmacist i read on a drug that" it take 2 years to 200 mg of drug to decompose by 40%" did they mean 40 % remained or decomposed ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My vote: decomposed: I vote for 40% decomposed, if the sentence says "to decompose by 40%", meaning what remains is 60% of the original amount. However, we don't know for sure what the original author intended to mean.
