Increase Decrease Lesson 2 Mar

- The document discusses calculating percentage increases and decreases. - It explains how to calculate the multiplier for a percentage (e.g. 115% = 1.15) and use it to calculate a new value. - Examples are provided for increasing values by percentages (e.g. increasing £120 by 15% to £138) and decreasing values by percentages (e.g. decreasing 130 by 6% to 122.2).

Lesson Objective

By the end of the lesson you should


be able to work out the multipliers
for percentage increases and
decreases.
You should also be able to use these
to calculate new values after the
changes have taken place.

Percentage increase and decrease


To work out a percentage increase or decrease
we can follow these steps.
[Link] out the percentage like we did last time.
[Link] it on for an increase or take it away for a
decrease.
example 1: Increase 120 by 15%
15% of 120 = 0.15 x 120 = 18
120+18= 138

Percentage increase and decrease


This method is fine but can cause problems
later on. Using multipliers can make this much
quicker.
Lets
look1:
atIncrease
example120
1 again
example
by 15%
We can think of the 120 as the original 100%.
Now we want the original price and an extra
15%.
That is

100% + 15% = 115%

The multiplier for 115% is 1.15

Percentage increase and decrease


Although this may seem more complicated,
most of it can be done in your head. Here are
some more examples (you can probably do the
first two steps in your head)
increase 130 by
12% 250 by
increase
23%
increase 64 by 3%
increase 562 by
86%

100%+12%=112%

100%+3%=103%
641.03
=
65.92
1.86 x =
100%
186%
562 = 1045.32
+86%=186%
1.86

Percentage increase and decrease


If we add the percentage on to 100 for
increases. What do you think we do for
decreases?
Here are some examples, again the 1st two
steps
can probably
be done
your=head.
decrease
130 by 6%
0.94 in

100%-6%=94%

decrease 750 by

decrease 238 by

Match up these percentage
changes with their
multipliers

Percentage increase and decrease


There are two types of questions on your sheet.
For the first 10 join the percentage change to its
multiplier.
For the rest join the question to its answer. Use
straight lines only and join dot to dot, each line
should pass through a letter.
If you do them in order and make a note of the
letters you are passing through you should get
a message.
