Percentages - Decimal Multipliers

Use DECIMAL MULTIPLIER and SHOW WORKING


Method
Percentage increase using Decimal Multipliers
For the explanation I will assume it's a 20% increase of a quantity 50
step 1 -  add increase to 100%: 100% + 20% = 120%
step 2 - divide this by 100: 120%÷ 100 = 1.2
step 3 - times quantity 50 by 1.2: 50 x 1.2 = 60


So 50 increased by 20% is 60


Percentage decrease using Decimal Multipliers
For the explanation I will assume it's a 20% decrease of a quantity 50
step 1 -  subtract decrease from 100%: 100% - 20% = 80%
step 2 - divide this by 100: 80% ÷ 100 = 0.8
step 3 - times quantity 50 by 0.8: 50 x 0.8 = 40 


So 50 decreased by 20% is 40
