USING PERCENTS AND CALCULATING PERCENT
CHANGE
Objectives: SWBAT do calculations using percents. SWBAT find percents of increase and decrease. SWBAT use percent change to find initial or final values.
Percents
A percent is a ratio out of 100. Example: In the Uplift class of 2012,
about 64% of the students are female. If there are 96 students in the class, how many girls are there?
64 = x 64*96 = 100x100 96 6144 = 100x
61.44 = xThere are 61 girls in the class.
Ex. : State whether each percent of change is a percent of decrease or increase. Then find the percent of change.
1. initial: 32 final: 40
40 – 32 = 8
8 = 0.25 -> 25%32
2. initial: 20 final: 4
4 – 20 = -16
-16 = - 0.8 = -80%20
Vocabulary
Percent: a fraction out of 100 Percent of change: an increase or
decrease expressed at a percent. Percent of increase: the percent by
which new number is greater than the original number.
Percent of decrease: the percent by which the new number is less than the original number.
Percent of Change Formula
Percent of Change: final amount – initial amount
initial amount

3. initial: 72 final: 36
36 – 72 = - 36
-36 = -0.5 = - 50%72
4. initial: 45 final: 50
50 – 45 = 5
5 = 0.111 = 11.1%45
Using Percent Change
To calculate final value, use (1 + c) * initial value.
c = % change written as a decimal Example: A store is having a 20% off sale.
How much does a shirt that was $60 cost?
Initial value: $60 Percent change: -20% = -.2 (1 + -.2) * $60 = 0.8 * $60 = $48
Ex: Using Percent Change1. The price a used-book store pays to buy
a book is $5. The store sells the book for 28% above the price that it pays for the book. What is the selling price of the $5 book?
Ex: Find the total price of each item.
1. Software: $39.50
Sales tax: 6.5%
2. Compact disc: $15.99
sales tax: 5.75%
Ex: Find the discounted price of each item.
1. jeans: $45.00 discount: 25%
2. book: $19.95 discount: 33%
Ex: Find the final price of each
1. lamp: $120.00 discount: 20% tax: 6%
2. camera: $58.00 discount: 25% tax: 6.5%
In 1987, the United States had 2 million active-duty military personnel. By 2000, there were only 1.4 million active-duty military personnel. What was the percent of decrease?

In order for a food to marked “reduced fat,” it must have at least 25% less fat than the same full-fat food. If one ounce of reduced fat chips has 6 grams of fat, what is the least amount of fat in one ounce of regular chips?
