You can put this solution on YOUR website!
% of in crease and % of decrease follows a simple formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28difference%2Foriginal%29%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Lets start with problem #3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%2825+-+10%29%2F25%29+%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%2815%2F25%29+%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F5%29+%2A+100+\" or \"+%286%2F10%29+%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+600%2F10+=+60%2F1+\" or 60%
\n" ); document.write( "Problem #4
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%2850+-+30%29%2F30%29+%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28%2820%29%2F30%29+%2A+100+\" or \"+%282%2F3%29+%2A+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 = .6 repeating ........
\n" ); document.write( "66 2/3%
\n" ); document.write( " Now for the first two:
\n" ); document.write( "1. What number increased by 30% = 260?
\n" ); document.write( "1x + .3x = 260
\n" ); document.write( "1.3x = 260
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200
\n" ); document.write( "2. What is 66 2/3% less than 45? (66 2/3 % ... from prob #4 is 2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "1x = 45 - 2/3x
\n" ); document.write( "4/3x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
