Explanation:
On a non-calculator paper, break percentages down into building blocks: find 10% (÷ 10), 1% (÷ 100), 5% (half of 10%), and 50% (÷ 2), then add them together. On a calculator paper, convert the percentage to a decimal (÷ 100) and multiply.
To increase or decrease an amount by a percentage in one step, use a decimal multiplier: add the percentage to 100% for an increase (e.g. +15% → × 1.15), or subtract from 100% for a decrease (e.g. −15% → × 0.85).
Example 1 (Non-calc): Decrease £240 by 15%.
Solution:
Example 2 (Calc): Increase £460 by 17.5%.
Solution:
