 Variation 61

In solving variation problems, you must decide whether the two quantities involved change in the same direction,
in which case it is direct variation and should be solved by means of proportions. If the quantities change in
opposite directions, it is inverse variation, solved by means of constant products. In the following exercises,
decide carefully whether each is an example of direct or inverse variation.

 Verbal Problems Involving Percent 87

1. PERCENT OF INCREASE OR DECREASE

The percent of increase or decrease is found by putting the amount of increase or decrease over the original
amount and changing this fraction to a percent by multiplying by 100.
Example:
The number of automobiles sold by the Cadcoln Dealership increased from 300 one year to 400 the
following year. What was the percent of increase?
Solution:
There was an increase of 100, which must be compared to the original 300.
100 1 1
= = 33 %
300 3 3
Example:
The Sunset School dismisses 20% of its staff of 150 due to budgetary problems. By what percent
must it now increase its staff to return to the previous level?
Solution:

20% = · 150 = 30

The school now has 150 – 30 or 120 employees. To increase by 30, the percent of increase is
