4-5 Percent of Change Objective: To solve problems involving percent of increase or decrease.
Percent of Change Percent Increase: new amount/price goes up Percent Decrease: new amount/price goes down Example 1: Mac reduced the price of the nano ipod from $179 to $139. What is the percent decrease? Amount of decrease = _x_ Original # 100 (Big # - small #)
