  1. Finding Percent of Change

  2. Percent of Change

  3. Finding the Percent of Change • Percent of Change – the percent a quantity increases or decreases from the original amount • Step 1 – Subtract to find the amount of change • Step 2 – Use the proportion Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100

  4. Percent of Change - Increase

  5. Finding the Percent of Increase • North Carolina had 12 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1990’s. After the 2000 census, North Carolina had 13 seats. Find the percent of increase in the number of representatives. • Step 1 – Subtract to find the amount of change 13 seats - 12 seats = 1 seat change

  6. Finding the Percent of Increase • Step 2 – Use the proportion Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100 1 = x 12 100 = 1 (100) 12 x = 100 12 x 12 12 = 8.3% x

  7. Finding the Percent of Increase • A restaurant worker earning $5.15 an hour receives a raise. He now earns $6.00 and hour. Find the percent of increase in his hourly rate of pay. • Step 1 – Subtract to find the amount of change $6.00 - $5.15 = $0.85 increase per hour

  8. Finding the Percent of Increase • Step 2 – Use the proportion Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100 $0.85 = x $5.15 100 = 0.85 (100) 5.15 x = 85 5.15 x 5.15 5.15 = 16.5% x

  9. Finding the Percent of Increase • Vincent collects dinosaurs. Before his birthday he had 16 dinosaurs. After his birthday party, he had a total of 40 dinosaurs. Find the percent of increase in the number of dinosaurs Vincent has.

  10. Finding the Percent of Increase • 40 - 16 = 24 dinosaurs Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100 24 = x 16 100 = 24(100) 16 x = 2400 16 x 16 16 = 150% x

  11. Percent of Change: Decrease (discount)

  12. Finding the Percent of Decrease • During a clearance sale, a keyboard that normally sells for $49.99 is discounted to $34.99. What is the percent of discount? • Step 1 – Subtract to find the amount of change $49.99 - $34.99 = $15.00 discount

  13. Finding the Percent of Decrease • Step 2 – Use the proportion Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100 $15.00 = x $49.99 100 = 15 (100) 49.99 x = 1500 49.99 x 49.99 49.99 = 30% x

  14. Finding the Percent of Decrease • Due to the number of infractions given, the number of students able to attend the Mardi Gras Mania decreased from 206 students to 180 students. What is the percent of decrease?

  15. Finding the Percent of Decrease • 206 - 180 = 26 students Amount of change = Percent of change Original amount 100 26 = x 206 100 = 26 (100) 206 x = 2600 206 x 206 206 = 12.62% x

  16. Percent of Change: Markup

  17. Finding the Percent of Markup • An electronic store orders sets of walkie-talkies for $14.85 each. The store sells each set for $19.90. What is the percent of markup? • Step 1 – Subtract to find the amount of markup $19.90 - $14.85 = $5.05 markup

  18. Finding the Percent of Markup • Step 2 – Use the proportion Amount of markup = Percent of change Original cost 100 $5.05 = x $14.85 100 = 5.05 (100) 14.85 x = 505 14.85 x 14.85 14.85 = 34% x

  19. Finding the Percent of Markup • Macy’s spends $30.72 on Polo shirts. They then sell the shirt for $55.84. What is the percent of markup on the Polo shirts?

  20. Finding the Percent of Markup • $55.84 - $30.72 = $25.12 Amount of markup = Percent of change Original cost 100 25.12 = x 30.72 100 = 25.12 (100) 30.72 x = 2512 30.72 x 30.72 30.72 = 81.77% x

  21. Finding the Original

  22. Finding the Original • How do we find the original price when we know the discounted price and the percent off? • Watch Example Video

  23. Finding the Original • Step one – Find the percentage you are paying by subtracting 100% - the percent off • Step two – divide the discounted price by the percent you are paying

  24. Finding the Original • A shirt is on sale for 40% off. The sale price is $12. What is the original cost of the shirt? • Step 1: 100% - percent off = percent still paying for 100% - 40% = 60% • Step 2: sale price ÷ % paying for = original price 12 ÷ .60 = $20.00

  25. Finding the Original • A television is on sale for 30% off. The sale price is $425. What is the original cost of the television? • Step 1: 100% - percent off = percent still paying for 100% - 30% = 70% • Step 2: sale price ÷ % paying for = original price 425 ÷ .70 = $607.14

  26. Finding the Original • A car is on sale for 20% off. The sale price is $12,375. What is the original cost of the car? • Step 1: 100% - percent off = percent still paying for 100% - 20% = 80% • Step 2: sale price ÷ % paying for = original price $12,375 ÷ .80 = $15,468.75
