10. When you know the percent of change, you can use an equation to find the actual amount of change.

11. Additional Example 2A & 2B: Using Percent of Change
The regular price of a bicycle helmet is $ It is on sale for 20% off.
A. Find the actual amount of the discount.
20% · = d
Think: 20% of $42.99 is what number?
0.20 · = d
Write the percent as a decimal.
8.598 = d
Multiply.
$8.60  d
Round to the nearest cent.
The discount is $8.60.
B. Find the sale price.
Subtract the discount from the regular price.
$42.99 – $8.60 = $34.39
The sale price is $34.39

12. A. Find the actual amount of the discount.
Try This: Example 2A & 2B
The regular price of a computer game is $ It is on sale for 15% off.
A. Find the actual amount of the discount.
15% · = d
Think: 15% of $49.88 is what number?
0.15 · = d
Write the percent as a decimal.
7.482 = d
Multiply.
$7.48  d
Round to the nearest cent.
The discount is $7.48.
B. Find the sale price.
Subtract the discount from the regular price.
$49.88 – $7.48 = $42.40
The sale price is $42.40

13. Additional Example 3: Business Application
A boutique buys hand-painted T-shirts for $12.60 each and sells them at a 110% increase in price. What is the selling price of the T-shirts?
First find the actual amount of increase.
Think: 110% of $12.60 is what number?
110% · = n
1.10 · = n
Write the percent as a decimal.
13.86 = n
Multiply.
The amount of increase is $ Now find the selling price.
Think: retail price = wholesale price + amount of increase.
p = $ $13.86
p = $26.46
The retail price of the hand-painted T-shirts is $26.46 each.

Try This: Example 3
William makes T-shirts for $7.00 each and sells them after a price increase of 125%. What is the selling price of the T-shirts?
First find the actual amount of increase.
Think: 125% of $7.00 is what number?
125% · 7.00 = n
1.25 · 7.00 = n
Write the percent as a decimal.
8.75 = n
Multiply.
The amount of increase is $8.75. Now find the selling price.
Think: retail price = wholesale price + amount of increase.
r = $ $8.75
r = $15.75
