  4. 4 16 amount of decrease original amount Additional Example 1: Finding Percent Increase or Decrease Find the percent increase or decrease from 16 to 12. This is percent decrease. 16 – 12 = 4 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 4 of 16? Set up the ratio.

  5. 4 16 Additional Example 1 Continued = 0.25 Find the decimal form. = 25% Write as a percent. From 16 to 12 is a 25% decrease.

  6. 5 20 amount of increase original amount Check It Out: Example 1 Find the percent increase or decrease from 15 to 20. This is percent increase. 20 – 15 = 5 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 5 of 20? Set up the ratio.

  7. 5 20 Check It Out: Example 1 Continued = 0.25 Find the decimal form. = 25% Write as a percent. From 15 to 20 is a 25% increase.

  8. 28 70 amount of increase original amount Additional Example 2A: Life Science Application When Jim was exercising, his heart rate went from 70 beats per minute to 98 beats per minute. What was the percent increase? 98 – 70 = 28 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 28 of 70? Set up the ratio.

  9. 28 70 = 0.4 Find the decimal form. Additional Example 2 Continued = 40% Write as a percent. Jim’s heart rate increased by 40% when he exercised.

  10. amount of decrease 0.40 original amount 1.25 Additional Example 2B: Application In 1999, a certain stock was worth $1.25 a share. In 2002, the same stock was worth $0.85 a share. What was the percent decrease? 1.25 – 0.85 = 0.40 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 0.40 of 1.25? Set up the ratio.

  11. 0.40 1.25 Additional Example 2B Continued = 0.32 Find the decimal form. = 32% Write as a percent. The value of the stock decreased by 32%.

  12. 25 50 amount of increase original amount Check It Out: Example 2A When Jeff was watching TV, the number of times his eyelids blinked went from 50 blinks per minute to 75 blinks per minute. What was the percent increase? 75 – 50 = 25 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 25 of 50? Set up the ratio.

  13. 25 50 = 0.5 Find the decimal form. Check It Out: Example 2A Continued = 50% Write as a percent. The blinking of Jeff’s eyelids increased by 50% when he watched TV.

  14. amount of decrease 5.20 original amount 9.00 Check It Out: Example 2B In 2000, a certain stock was worth $9.00 a share. In 2003, the same stock was worth $3.80 a share. What was the percent decrease, to the nearest tenth? 9.00 – 3.80 = 5.20 First find the amount of change. Think: What percent is 5.20 of 9.00? Set up the ratio.

  15. 5.20 = 0.57 Find the decimal form. 9.00 = 57.7% Write as a percent. Check It Out: Example 2B Continued The value of the stock decreased by about 57.8%.

  16. Additional Example 3A: Using Percent Change to Find Discounts and Markups Sarah bought a DVD player originally priced at $450 that was on sale for 20% off. What was the sale price? $450 20% First find 20% of $450. $450 0.20 = $90 20% = 0.20 The amount of decrease is $90. Think: The reduced price is $90 less than $450. $450 – $90 = $360Subtract the amount of decrease. The sale price of the DVD player was $360.

  17. Additional Example 3B: Using Percent Change to Find Discounts and Markups Mr. Olsen has a computer business in which he marks everything up 40% above the wholesale price. If he purchased a printer for $85 wholesale, what will be the retail price? $85 40% First find 40% of $85. $85 0.40 = $34 40% = 0.40 The amount of increase is $34. Think: The retail price is $34 more than $85. $85 + $34 = $119Add the amount of increase. The retail price of this printer will be $119.

  18. Check It Out: Example 3A Lily bought a dog house originally priced at $750 that was on sale for 10% off.
