PERCENT of Change

Hi Girls and Boys,

We are moving on with percent and this time it is PERCENT of Change.  Did you ever think there were so many topics on PERCENT?  Me either! 

To change in math generally means to go up or down, and with percent of change, this is to measure the amount of change when things are marked up or marked down.  There will be several vocabulary terms in the next following lessons, so pay attention to them and really listen and learn what each means.  There are 3 formulas ( shortcuts ) to figure out the 3 types of change:

Percent of INCREASE = difference / original amount

Percent of DECREASE = difference / original amount

Percent of ERROR= difference /Actual amount 

Hang on and ask questions along the way......

Homework: Read the blog, watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer.
