Important Points to Note: When any value increases by 10%, it becomes 1.1 times of itself. (since 100+10 = 110% = 1.1) 20%, it becomes 1.2 times of itself. 36%, it becomes 1.36 times of itself. 4%, it becomes 1.04 times of itself. Thus we can see the effects on the values due to various percentage increases. When any value decreases by 10%, it becomes 0.9 times of itself. (Since 100-10 = 90% = 0.9)

20%, it becomes 0.8 times of itself 36%, it becomes 0.64 times of itself 4%, it becomes 0.96 times of itself. Thus we can see the effects on a value due to various percentage decreases. Note: 1. When a value is multiplied by a decimal more than 1 it will be increased and when multiplied by less than 1 it will be decreased. 2. The percentage increase or decrease depends on the decimal multiplied. Eg: 0.7 => 30% decrease, 0.67 => 33% decrease, 0. 956 => 4.4% decrease and so on . Eg: When the actual value is x, find the value when it is 30% decreased. Soln: 30% decrease => 0.7 x. Eg: A value after an increase of 20% became 600. What is the value? Soln: 1.2x = 600 (since 20% increase) x = 500.

Eg: If 600 is decrease by 20%, what is the new value? Soln: new value = 0.8 X 600 = 480. (Since 20% decrease) Thus depending on the decimal we can decide the % change and vice versa. Eg: When a value is increased by 20%, by what percent should it be reduced to ge t the actual value? Soln: (It is equivalent to 1.2 reduced to 1 and we can use % decrease formula) % decrease = (1.2 1)/1.2 X 100 = 16.66%.

When a value is subjected multiple changes, the overall effect of all the ch anges can be obtained by multiplying all the individual factors of the changes. Eg: The population of a town increased by 10%, 20% and then decreased by 30%. Th e new population is what % of the original? Soln: The overall effect = 1.1 X 1.2 X 0.7 crease) = 0.924 = 92.4%. Eg: Two successive discounts of 10% and 20% are equal to a single discount of __ _ Soln: Discount is same as decrease of price. So, decrease = 0.9 X 0.8 = 0.72 => 28% decrease (Since only 72% is remaining). (Since 10%, 20% increase and 30% de

9. If the length of a rectangle is increased by 33.33%, by what percentage shoul d the breadth be reduced to make the area same? a. 20% b. 33.33% c. 25% d. None

10. In an election between two candidates, A and B, A secured 56% of the votes a nd won by 48000 votes. Find the total number of votes polled if 20% of the votes were declared invalid. a. 500000 b. 400000 c. 600000 d. None

clear explanation for above problems: 1/5 X 2/5 X a = X a X b => b = 8/25 % difference = (200-50)/50 X 100 = 300 % % increase = (80-30)/30 X 100 = 166.66 % 1.3 x = 78000 => x = 60000. Net effect = 1.2 X 1.1 X 0.7 = 0.924 => 7.6% decrease.

Let I be the income. Expenditure = 0.8I New income = 1.2I (since 20% rise) New expenditure = (0.8I) X 1.3 (Since 30% rise) = 1.04I So, new savings = 1.2I 1.04I = 0.16I => 16% Savings = 0.2I => 20%

(So income decreased form 20% to 16%) % decrease = (20-16)/20 X 100 = 20%. It is equivalent to 1.25 decreased to 1. % decrease = (1.25-1)/1.25 X 100 = 20% 8. % change in area = 1.2 X 1.2 (since area = side X side) = 1.44 => 44%. It is equivalent to 1.25 decreased to 1. So 20% decrease. Valid Votes: A got 56% => B got 44% Difference = 12% = 48000 So, 100% = 400000. These are valid votes. But valid votes are only 80% of total votes. So, 80% of total votes = 400000 => total votes = 500000 STILL CONFUSE?SUBMIT YOUE QUIRY IN LEAVE REPLY/SUBMIT COMMENT 08455867975-9237020720-tapan_mamu
