PERCENTAGE INCREASE & DECREASE WALT - calculate the percentage increase and percentage decrease of a number. - apply percentage increase and decrease to a variety of questions.

RECAP Over the past two weeks we have been learning about percentages, in particular finding percentages of amounts. You learned how to find 50%, 25%, 75%, 10% and multiples of 10% of an amount during week one of percentages. During week two, you learned how to find 1% & 5% of an amount. An ability to combine these skills means that you are now able to find any % of any amount. Or, at the very least, you are becoming much more confident doing so.

A QUICK TESTER TO RECAP PERCENTAGES SO FAR Find 50% of 120 = Find 25% of 80 = Find 75% of 120 = Find 10% of 70 = Find 20% of 90 = Find 1% of 300 = Find 5 % of 200 =

A QUICK TESTER TO RECAP PERCENTAGES SO FAR Find 50% of 120 = 60 to find 50% of a number, you halve it or divide it by 2. Find 25% of 80 = 20 to find 25% of a number you halve it and halve it again OR divide it by 4. Find 75% of 120 = 90 to find 75% of a number you find 25% first and then multiply it by 3. Find 10% of 70 = 7 to find 10% of a number you divide it by 10. Find 20% of 90 = 18 to find any multiple of 10 you must divide by 10 and then multiple. Find 1% of 300 = 3 to find 1% of a number you divide by 100 (you can use a grid to help with this) Find 5 % of 200 = 10 to find 5% you can find 10% and halve your answer OR find 1% and multiply it by 5.

USING THE STRATEGIES YOU HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS. COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING TABLE INTO YOUR JOTTER. USE THE GRID IF YOU NEED TO. H T U t h th .

MOVING ON PERCENTAGE INCREASE & PERCENTAGE DECREASE Understanding percentage increase & decrease is a skill that we can use on a regular basis during our day-to-day lives. Often when you are in a supermarket you will see products that a certain % extra free (% increase) You will now be able to calculate that yourself using the strategies you have been developing. When shops have sales, many items have % off (% decrease) Have a look the next time you are in a shop or shopping online at prices. Do items have a certain % off certain items?

PERCENTAGE INCREASE What is percentage increase? Percentage Increase is when you make a number bigger by adding on a given percentage of it. One common example you may have seen before could be a bag of crisps like the ones pictured here. 50% extra free

Percentage increase: increasing a number by a percentage. How do I do it? Step 1: Find the percentage of the amount/number Step 2: Add the percentage to the original amount/number e.g. Increase 30 by 20% Step 1: 10% of 30 is 3 So, 20% of 30 is 6 Step 2: 30 + 6 = 36 So 30 increased by 20% is 36

Example 2 A packet of crisps normally weighs 125g. The packet is increased in weight by 20%. What is the new weight of the packet of crisps? Step 1 10% of 125 is 12.5 so, 20% is 25 Step 2 125 + 25 = 150 So the packet of crisps now weighs 150g! 20% extra free crisps nice!

YOUR TURN A packet of biscuits normally weighs 150g. The packet is increased in weight by 20%. What is the new weight of the packet of biscuits?

YOUR TURN A packet of biscuits normally weighs 150g. The packet is increased in weight by 20%. What is the new weight of the packet of biscuits? Step 1: find the % of the amount Step 2: add the % to the original number Example: 20% of 150g 10% of 150 = 15 20% of 150 = 30 Therefore the new weight of the packet of biscuits is 150 + 30 = 180g

TRY THESE Mild: Hot: Increase 330 by 15% Increase 500g by 30% Increase 72 by 20% 1. 2. 3. 1. increase 50 by 10% 2. Increase 200g by 20% 3. Increase 100g by 50% Spicy: 1. Increase 300 by 10% 2. Increase 25g by 25% 3. Increase 220g by 15%

ANSWERS: Hot: 379.50 650g 86.40 1. 2. 3. Mild: 1. 2. 3. Spicy: 1. 2. 3. 55 240g 150g 330 31.25g 253g

Percentage Decrease What is Percentage Decrease? Percentage Decrease is when you make a number smaller by taking away a given percentage of it. We often see Percentage Decrease in real life in terms of items in a sale or using a discount card.

PERCENTAGE DECREASE: DECREASING A NUMBER BY A PERCENTAGE. HOW DO I DO IT? Step 1 find the percentage of the number Step 2 takeaway the percentage from the original number. Example: Decrease 50 by 30% Step 1 10% of 50 = 5. So, 30% of 50 = 15 Step 2 50 -15 = 35 Therefore 50 decreased by 30% = 35

Example 2 There is a pair of trainers in the sale. There were originally 60. They have 20% off. How much do I pay for them? Step 1 10% of 60 is 6 so, 20% is 12 Step 2 60 - 12 = 48 So the trainers are now 48

YOUR TURN There are some designer sunglasses in a sale with 45% off. They were 190 before the sale. How much are they now? 40% is 76 Step 1: 10% is 19 5% is 9.50 So 45% is 85.50 Step 2: 190 - 85.50 = 104.50

TRY THESE Mild: Hot: Decrease 650 by 15% Decrease 400g by 40% Decrease 140.50 by 20% 1. 2. 3. 1. Decrease 60 by 10% 2. Decrease 300g by 20% 3. Decrease 400g by 50% Spicy: 1. Decrease 500 by 10% 2. Decrease 90g by 25% 3. Decrease 320g by 15%
