Percentage Increase andDecrease
§ Percentage Increase =
(100+ �������� %)
100
× ��������
Example: A bus fare of $ 25 was increased by 6%. What is the new fare?
Percentage Increase =
(100−6)
100
× $ 25.00
= $ 23.50
§ Percentage Decrease =
(100−��������%)
100
× ��������
Example: A stove priced at $ 1500 was decreased by 15%. What is the new price of the stove?
Percentage Decrease =
(100−15)
100
× $1500.00
= $ 1275.00

Discount = Marked Price - Discount
Example 1: A student was given a discount of $35.00 on a book priced at $ 80.00. How much did she pay
for the book?
Marked Price = $ 80.00
Discount = $ 35.00
Discounted Price = Marked Price - Discount
= $ 80.00 - $ 35.00
= $ 45.00

Example 2: A shirt priced at $60.00 was sold at $ 45.00. What was the precentage discount?
Marked Price = $ 60.00
Discounted Price = $ 45.00
Discount Price = Marked Price - Discounted Price
= $ 60.00 - $ 45.00
= $ 15.00

Example 3: Duringa Christmas sale, a television marked at $2000.00 and was offered a 20% discount.
What was the final price of the television?
Marked Price = $ 2000.00
Discount = 20%
Discount =
20
100
× $2000.00
= $400.00
Final Price of Television = $ 2000.00 - $ 400.00
= $ 1600.00
OR
PERCENTAGE DECREASE =
(100−20)
100
× $2000.00
= $ 1600.00

Example 4: Ina sale, a radio was sold at $2071.00 after a 5% discount was given. What was the marked
price of the radio?
Sale Price = $ 2071.00
Discount = 5%
Percentage Decrease =
100−5
100
× 100
= 95%
95% of Marked Price = $ 2071.00
Therefore Marked Price= $ 2071.00 ÷ 95%
= $ 2180.00

Sales Tax orValued Added Tax (VAT) is paid on good and services to a supplier, for the government.
Income tax is a type of tax governments impose on the income that businesses and individuals
generate.
Example 1: The price of an automatic washing machine is $3473.00 vat exclusive. The VAT payable
on items is 15%. Calculate the price of the washer inclusive of VAT.
Marked Price of Washing Machine = $3473.00
VAT = 15%
VAT is added to price therefore it is a percentage increase.
Selling price of Washer =
(100+15)
100
× $3473.00
= $3993.95
24.
Example 2: Theprice of a lawn mower is $1050.00 vat inclusive. The VAT levied is 15%. Calculate
the price of the washer inclusive of VAT.
Selling Price of Lawn Mower = $1050.00
VAT = 15%
VAT is included in price therefore it is a percentage increase.
Percentage Increase =
(100+15)
100
× 100
= 1155%
115% of Marked price of Lawn Mower = $1050.00
Marked price of Lawn Mower = $1050.00 ÷ 115%
= $ 913.04
Income Tax -is a major source of income for governments. It is calculated on workers earnings

A civil servant’ssalary is $30 000.00 per year. Her taxable income is found by deducting the
following:
a) personal allowance $ 150.00 per month
b) spousal alowance $ 100.00 per month
c) child allowance $40.00 per month
d) national insurance allowance $50.00 per month
She then pays tax at 30%. Calculate:
1. Taxable income
Taxable Income = Gross salary per year - Tax free income
Tax free income = personal allowance $ 150.00 per month x 12 = $ 1 800.00
spousal alowance $ 100.00 per month x 12 = $ 1 200.00
child allowance $ 40.00 per month x 12 = $ 480.00
national insurance allowance $50.00 per month x 12 = $ 600.00
$ 4 080.00
Taxable Income = $ 30 000.00 - $ 4 080.00
= $ 25 920.00
29.
2. The amountshe pay income tax
Taxable income = $ 25 920.00
Tax = 30%
Amount to be paid in tax =
30
100
× $25920.00
= $ 7 776.00
3. Net Income
Net Income = Gross Salary - Income Tax
= $ 30 000.00 - $ 7 776.00
= $ 22 224.00
