Increasing/Decreasing by a Percent
As consumers, we often see quantities being increased or decreased by some percentage. For instance, a cereal box boasts ‘‘25% More.’’ An item might be on sale, saying ‘‘Reduced by 40%.’’ When increasing a quantity by a percent, first compute what the percent is, then add it to the original quantity. When decreasing a quantity by a percent, again compute the percent then subtract it from the original quantity.
