(2) 16 2 3 % ID : ae-6-percentage [7] We have been told that x is 20% more than y. This statement can be written as: x y + (y 20 ) The above equation tells us how to calculate x in terms of y. Let us simplif y the above equation and rearrange it so that it tells us how to write y in terms of x. The above equation implies: x y + y 5, which implies, x y(1 + 1 5 ) which implies, x y( 5 + 1 5 ) which implies, x 6y 5 which implies, y 5x 6 Now, let us try to write rewrite the right hand side of the above equation as "x - something". This can be done by adding (x - x) to the right hand side. We can do that because (x - x) is zero. Our equation now becomes: y x - x + 5x 6 which implies, y x - (x - 5x 6 ) which implies, y x - 6x - 5x 6 which implies, y x - x 6 Step 4 Looking at the equation above, now we know that:"y is less than x by a f actor of 1 6 ". Step 5 To convert a f actor into percentage, we need to multiply the f actor by. This means, f ollowing two statements mean the same:
ID : ae-6-percentage [8] "y is less than x by a f actor of 1 6." AND "y is less than x by 6 percent." Step 6 If we write the percentage we just f ound as a mixed f raction, we can say that: 2 "y is less than x by 16 %" 3 (3) A) 60.144 We have been asked to f ind the value of 17.9 % of 336. 17.9 % of 336 means 336 17.9 % 336 17.9 6014.4 60.144 Theref ore, 17.9 % of 336 is 60.144.
