The percent change is a percent decrease because the cost of coat is decreased from $50 to $35. What was the percent that the coat was discounted?
3.4.2 Find the percent decreaseĮxample 1: A coat was originally priced at $50. Therefore, the cost of constructing the well was increased by 33.33%. Here we understand that, part = change in cost, whole = previous estimate and p = percent change.Ĭhange in cost = percent change × previous estimate.ĭivide the equation by 1800 on both sides. The percent change is a percent increase because the cost has been increased. What percent change is noticed in the cost? Therefore, Emily’s marks increased by 20% this month.Įxample 2: The cost of constructing a well was estimated to be $1200 and later increased to $1800 due to an increase in the depth of the well. Here we understand that, part = change in marks, whole = last month marks and p = percent change.Ĭhange in marks = percent change × last month marks. The percent change is a percent increase because Emily’s marks increased from last month to this month. This month she scored 90 marks, what is the percent change in Emily’s marks?ĭraw a bar diagram to represent the percent change from last month to this month. 3.4.1 Find the percent increaseĮxample 1: Emily scored 72 marks in an assessment last month. Therefore, the snake’s length increased by 25% this year. Let us take percent as p, which we are about to find.Ĭhange in length = percent change × original length.Įxpress the decimal as a percent by multiplying by 100. Here we understand that, part = change in length, whole = original length and p = percent change. Step 2: Use the percent equation to find the percent change. The percent change is a percent increase because the snake’s length increased from last year to this year. What is the percent change in snake’s length?ĭraw a bar diagram to represent the percent change from last year to this year. This year on measuring again, it was found to be 40 inches. Therefore, percent equation can be written as part = percent × whole.Įxample 1: The length of the snake was found to be 32 inches last year.
(part )/(whole) x whole = percent × whole The change in percent can be determined using the percent equation. The quantity here can be anything like size, weight, profit, loss, etc., to name a few. The percent change can be an increase or decrease. The percent change explains how much a quantity has changed relative to its original amount.
