Applications of Percents
A percent of change is an increase or decrease expressed as a percent. If the new value is greater than the original one, it is a percent of increase; otherwise, it is a percent of decrease.
Sales tax is a familiar example of a percent of increase.
Discount is an example of a percent of decrease.
When solving these kinds of problems, always write the percent as either a fraction with a denominator of 100 or a decimal equivalent to the percent.
