3.2 Percent Increase and Decrease

Find the percent change from the first value to the second.

Question 5.
36; 63 ____________________
Find the amount of change.
Amount of Change = Greater Value – Lesser value
= 63 – 36
= 27
Find the percent increase Round to the nearest percent
Percent Change = $$\frac{\text { Amount of Change }}{\text { Original Amount }}$$
= $$\frac{27}{36}$$
= 0.75
= 75%

Question 6.
50; 35 ____________________
Find the amount of change.
Amount of Change = Greater Value – Lesser value
= 50 – 35
= 15
Find the percent decrease Round to the nearest percent
Percent Change = $$\frac{\text { Amount of Change }}{\text { Original Amount }}$$
= $$\frac{15}{50}$$
= 0.3
= 30%

Question 7.
40; 72 __________________
Find the amount of change.
Amount of Change = Greater Value – Lesser value
= 72 – 40
= 32
Find the percent increase Round to the nearest percent
Percent Change = $$\frac{\text { Amount of Change }}{\text { Original Amount }}$$
= $$\frac{32}{72}$$
= 0.4
= 44%

Question 8.
92; 69 ___________________
Find the amount of change.
Amount of Change = Greater Value – Lesser value
= 92 – 69
= 23
Find the percent increase Round to the nearest percent
Percent Change = $$\frac{\text { Amount of Change }}{\text { Original Amount }}$$
= $$\frac{23}{92}$$
= 0.25
= 25%

3.3 Markup and Markdown

Use the original price and the markdown or markup to find the retail price.

Question 9.
Original price: $60; Markup: 15%; Retail price: ___________________ Answer: Markup = 15% = 0.15 Retail price = Original cost + Markup = x + 0.15x = 1.15x = 1.15 ×$60
= $69 Question 10. Original price:$32; Markup: 12.5%; Retail price: ___________________
Markup = 12.5% = 0.125
Retail price = Original cost + Markup
= x + 0.125x
= 1.125x
= 1.125 × $32 =$36

Question 11.
Original price: $50; Markdown: 22%; Retail price: __________________ Answer: Markdown = 22% = 0.22 Retail price = Original cost Markdown = x – 0.22x = 0.78x = 0.78 ×$50
= $39 Question 12. Original price:$125; Markdown: 30%; Retail price: _________________
Markdown = 30% = 0.3
Sale price = Original cost Markdown
= x – 0.3x
= 0.7x
= 0.7 × $125 =$87.5

3.4 Applications of Percent

Question 13.
Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $325 plus a 6.5% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold$4,800 worth of merchandise? __________________________________________
The commision is 6.5%.
Mae Ling earns the sum of her weekly salary and the comission of her sales.
Commision: $4,800 × 0.065 =$312
Total salary: $325 +$312 = $637 She would make$637 in a week.

Question 14.
Ramon earns $1,735 each month and pays$53.10 on electricity. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what percent of Ramon’s earnings are spent on electricity each month? ______________________________________
We have to divide electricity cost by his salary to calculate the percentage of his salary that is spent on electricity
$53.10 ÷$1, 375 ≈ 0.039 × 100% = 3.9%
3.9% of Ramon’s earnings are spent on electricity.

Question 2.
Shaylyn measured her house as 5 meters tall. Which of these is an equivalentmeasurement?
A. 0.3 miles
B. 16.4 feet
C. 7.3 yards
D. 27.2 inches
B. 16.4 feet

From the given choices. we can rule out A. C. D because we can sec that 5 meters differ from these values in given unit of measure.
Now, we just have to check for B.
1 meter ≈ 3.28 ft
Write the conversion factor as a ratio: $$\frac{3.28 \text { feet }}{1 \text { meter }}$$
5 meters × $$\frac{3.28 \text { feet }}{1 \text { meter }}$$ = 16.4 feet

Question 3.
Find the percent change from 70 to 56.
A. 20% decrease
B. 20% decrease
C. 25% increase
D. 25% increase
A. 20% decrease

Find the amount of change.
Amount of Change = Greater Value – Lesser value
= 70 – 56
= 14
Find the percent decrease Round to the nearest percent
Percent Change = $$\frac{\text { Amount of Change }}{\text { Original Amount }}$$
= $$\frac{14}{70}$$
= 0.2
= 20%

Question 4.
Delia uses 3.5 skeins of yarn to knit one scarf. How many scarves can she complete if she has 19 skeins of yarn?
A. 4 scarves
B. 5 scarves
C. 6 scarves
D. 7 scarves
B. 5 scarves

Let y represent scarves, and x skeins of yarn.
If she need 3.5 skeins of yarn to knit one scarf, then y = $$\frac{x}{3.5}$$
x = 19
y = $$\frac{x}{3.5}$$
y = $$\frac{19}{3.5}$$
y = 5.43
She can make almost 5 and a half scarves, that means she can complete 5 whole scarves.

New amount = Original amount + Amount of Change
= 10.2 + 2.04
= 12.24
Last yearns rainfall total was 12.24 inches.
