Identify the percent of change as an increase or decrease. Then find the percent of change. 1. Original: 45 New: 75 2. Original: 100 New: 42 3. Original: 58 New: 75

Representing Percent Equations Algebraically
You have already begun translating percent problems into equations. Remember... To solve a percent problem, translate the words into an equation. Change: 1. Percent into a decimal 2. "is" to "=" 3. "of" to " " 4. Unknown to "x" Then, solve the equation.
Think about this... 100% + 5% = 105% What does that equation look like in decimal form? 1 + 0.05 = 1.05 So, if you increase the price of a shirt 5%, the new price is 105% of the original price. To represent that algebraically, you would write it this way: Let s = the original price of the shirt 1s + 0.05s = 1.05s
Example: You sell a shirt for $15.50. This price represents a 5% increase from the price you paid for the shirt. How much did it cost you to purchase the shirt? Let s = the original price of the shirt 1s + 0.05s = 15.50 1.05s = 15.50 s = $14.76 The shirt cost you $14.76.
Example: The population of your school decreased by 13% from last year to this year. If there are 957 students in the school this year, how many were there last year? 2 students solved this differently. Who is correct? Why? Is one method easier than the other? Student 1: Student 2: 100% - 13% = 87% 1n - .13n = 957 87% of what is 957? 0.87n = 957 0.87n = 957 n = 1,100 students n = 1,100 students
Click So, what does this mean? m + 0.15m = 1.15m This could mean increase m by 15% or multiply m by 1.15. They mean the same thing! Likewise, what is the meaning of w - 0.42w = 0.58w This means both decrease w by 42% or multiply w by 0.58. Click Click
