Learning about Using Inverse Operations for finding the original price after a percentage increase or decrease
To find a percentage of a number, you.. Divide the percent by 100 And multiply by the number Notice that 100 changes the % to a decimal 12% of 40 = 12 100 (= 0.12) X 40 = 4.8
The increased amount is (100 + 12)% of the original If you wanted to increase 40 by 12% Find 12% of 40 and then add this answer to 40 We already know that 12% of 40 is 4.8 or Notice that 112 100 changes the % to a decimal which is 1.12 112% of 40 = 4.8 + 40 112 100 (= 1.12) X 40 = 44.8
If you wanted to decrease £125 by 23% The reduced amount is (100 - 23)% of the original Find 23% of 125 and then subtract this answer from 125 23 100 x 125 = 28.75 £125 - £28.75 = £96.25 Notice that 77 100 changes the % to a decimal which is 0.77 or 77 100 (= 0.77) X 125 = £96.25
To increase by a percentage Input Output 40 X 0.12 4.8 40 44.8 X 1.12
Using inverse operations! Insurance costs have increased by 12% The cost after the increase is £44.80 Output Input ? 44.8 X 1.12 What was the cost before the increase? It cost £40 before the increase 1.12 40 44.8
