Cards in this deck (7)
- 1I borrow £3000 for 4 months at an interest rate of 2½% per month, How much interest do I pay?3000 × 0.025 = 75
75 × 4 = £300 - 2The population of a town increases from 22,500 by 7% What is the new population?7% = 0.07
Multiplier for an increase of 7% = 1.07
22,500 × 1.07 = £24,075 - 3A car decreases (depreciates) in value from £18,000 by 15% What is it now worth?15% = 0.15
Multiplier for a decrease of 15% = 0.85
18,000 × 0.85 = £15,300 - 4A house was worth £135,000 last year but is now worth £150,000 Calculate the percentage increaseWork out the actual increase
15,000 - 135,000 = 15,000
work out this increase as a percentage of the original value
15,000
-------- = 0.11111 . . . . .
135,000 = 11% - 5A coat price has decreased by 20% and is now £150 What was the original price?Original × Multiplier = New
Original × 1.2 = £150
Original = 150
------ = £125
1.2 - 6The population of a village has decreased by 10% and is now 7668. What was the population before this decrease?Original × Multiplier = New
Original × 0.9 = 7668
Original = 7668
------- = 8520
0.9 - 7The population of a village increased from 3540 by 10% then decreased by 4%. what is the resulting population?3540 × 1.1 × 0.96 = 3738.24
New Population = 3738
