I Do / We Do
Multipliers are the decimal equivalents of a
percentage
To calculate a percentage or a percentage

change, multiply by the decimal equivalent of
the percentage that represents the answer
i.e. a 10% increase means the answer

represents 110%
I Do / We To increase by 3% To increase by
Do 104.2%
To decrease by 3% To decrease by 52.3%

I Do / We Do
If you multiply by 2, then 2 again, then 2 again, what
single value could you multiply by instead? 8
This comes from 2 x 2 x 2 … 23 = 8
The starting value does not change this concept

(note the index is the number of repetitions
We can apply this logic to multipliers (since we are

also multiplying by the same value repeatedly)
I Do / We Do
Imagine increasing at a rate of 5% each year, over 4 years
The multiplier for a 5% increase would be... 1.05
Rather than multiply this 4 times in a chain of

calculations, lets give it an index of 4… (note
we are not multiplying by 4!!)
1.054 = 1.21550625 (note, this is a 21.55% rise not 20%)
This gives us the multiplier for the repeated change

Find the single multiplier for:

DO / We Do
3 x 10% increases 2 x 6% increases
5 x 10% decreases 3 x 7% decreases


I Do / We Do
3 x 10% increases 2 x 6% increases
1.13 1.062
5 x 10% decreases 3 x 7% decreases
0.95 0.933
I Do / We The % does not need to be the same throughout...

Do
What about a 2.1% increase then a 3.1% increase...
1.021 & 1.031

We use powers if the % is the same for each
repetition, however if they are different, we
multiply the multipliers together “manually”
1.021 x 1.031 = 1.052651

This gives us the multiplier for the repeated change
Do / We Do Find the % change for:

Increase 0.5% then Decrease 95% then
decrease by 5% decrease by 5%
Increase by 2.3% then Decrease by 6.8% then

increase by 105% increase by 10%

Find the % change for:
Do / We Do Increase 0.5% then Decrease 95% then

decrease by 5% decrease by 5%
1.005 x 0.95 0.05 x 0.95
Increase by 2.3% then Decrease by 6.8% then

increase by 105% increase by 10%
1.023 x 2.05 0.932 x 1.1

Formula: Years
Quantity × Multiplier
Abi deposited £160 in a bank.
She earned
20% compound interest every year.
How much was in the account after 3 years?
Multiplier:
= 100% + 20%
= 1.0 + 0.2
= 1.2
160 × 1.23 = £276.48

Formula: Years
Mark deposited £230 in a bank.
He earned
7% compound interest every year.
Multiplier:
= 100% + 7%
= 1.0 + 0.07
= 1.07
230 × 1.074 = £301.48

Formula: Years
Anna deposited £250 in a bank.
She earned
3.5% compound interest every year.
Multiplier:
= 100% + 3.5%
= 1.0 + 0.035
= 1.035
250 × 1.0355 = £296.92

Marge invested £180 in a company.
She lost 11% every year!
How much was the

investment worth after 5 years?
Multiplier:
= 100% − 11%
= 1.0 − 0.11
= 0.89
180 × 0.895 = £100.51
