4. Example 2:  Find the percent increase or decrease, if 15 is increased to 20. Percent change = amount of change 100 original amount P = 5 100 15 15 P = 500 15 15 P = 33.3%

5. Example 3:  Find the amount of increase or decrease if 75 is increased by 40%. Percent change = amount of change 100original amount 40 = X 100 75 100 X = 3000 X = 30

6. Your Example: Find the percent of increase or decrease if 96 is decreased to 72.  Percent change = amount of change 100 original amount

7. Homework: Find each percent increase or decrease. 1. 125 is decreased to 2. 2. 360 is increased to 361. 3. 84 is decreased to 28. 4. 615 is decreased to 450. 5. 460 is increased to 500.
