FROM FRACTION TO PERCENT


To change a fraction to a percent, multiply by 100%.

To increase or decrease a number by a given percent, take that percent of the original number and add it to or subtract it from the
original number.


To increase 25 by 60%, first find 60% of 25.


Then add the result to the original number.


To decrease 25 by the same percent, subtract the 15.


PERCENT CHANGE FORMULA


25 × 0.6 = 15


25 + 15 = 40


25 − 15 = 10
