## Key concepts

• Percent Increase To find the percent increase:
1. Find the amount of increase. $\text{increase}=\text{new amount}-\text{original}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{amount}$
2. Find the percent increase. Increase is what percent of the original amount?
• Percent Decrease To find the percent decrease:
1. Find the amount of decrease. $\text{decrease}=\text{original amount}-\text{new}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{amount}$
2. Find the percent decrease. Decrease is what percent of the original amount?
• Simple Interest If an amount of money, P , called the principal, is invested for a period of t years at an annual interest rate r , the amount of interest, I, earned is
$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill I& =\hfill & Prt\hfill \\ \hfill \text{where}\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}I& =\hfill & \text{interest}\hfill \\ \hfill P& =\hfill & \text{principal}\hfill \\ \hfill r& =\hfill & \text{rate}\hfill \\ \hfill t& =\hfill & \text{time}\hfill \end{array}$
• Discount
• amount of discount is discount rate $·$ original price
• sale price is original price – discount
• Mark-up
• amount of mark-up is mark-up rate $·$ original cost
• list price is original cost + mark up
