Solution Solution follows… $43,900 + $2195 = $46,095 Write the percent of the increase as a fraction: 5% = Work out the amount of the increase: Now add the amount of the increase to the original profit: 5 100 5 × $43,900 = 0.05 × $43,900 = $2195 Profit

13. 13 Example 4 Lesson 8.2.3 Last year, Company C made profits of $40,000. This year, they made profits of $28,000. What was the percent decrease in their profits? Solution Solution follows… = 0.3 $12,000 $40,000 Find the amount of the profit decrease: $40,000 – $28,000 = $12,000 Now divide the amount of the decrease by the first year’s profits: Change the decimal to a percent by multiplying by 100: 0.3 × 100 =30, so they had a 30% decrease in profit.

This month, they made profits of $1500. Find the percent increase in their profits. 12. Last year, Company G made profits of $200,000. This year, they made profits of $192,000. Find the percent decrease in their profits. Lesson 1.1.1 Guided Practice Lesson 8.2.3 Solution follows… 10% × 12,000 = 1200 12,000 + 1200 = $13,200 (1500 – 1250) ÷ 1250 = 20% 4% × 25,500 = 1180 29,500 – 1180 = $28,320 (200,000 – 192,000) ÷ 200,000 = 4% Profit
