Calculating Percentages

• A percentage quantifies a number as a fraction out of 100.
• To determine a percentage of a number:
  [ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 ]
• Converting a percentage to a decimal involves dividing by 100:
  [ \text{Decimal} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} ]

Percentage Increase/Decrease

• Percentage Increase measures growth:
  [ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100 ]
• Percentage Decrease measures a reduction:
  [ \text{Percentage Decrease} = \left( \frac{\text{Original Value} - \text{New Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \right) \times 100 ]

Rates of Change

• A rate of change reflects how a quantity alters concerning another quantity.
• Average Rate of Change is calculated as:
  [ \text{Rate of Change} = \frac{\text{Change in Value}}{\text{Change in Time}} ]
• Widely applied across fields like economics, physics, and biology to track trends over time.

Applications of Percentages

• Used in Finance for calculating discounts, sales tax, and price markup.
• In Statistics, percentages analyze survey data, proportions, and demographic studies.
• Health statistics utilize percentages for measuring incidence and prevalence.
• In Education, percentages assist in grading, GPA calculations, and assessing performance metrics.

Interest Rates

• Interest rates represent the percentage earned or paid on a loan/investment over time.
• Simple Interest is calculated with:
  [ \text{Simple Interest} = \text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} ]
• Compound Interest grows on both principal and accumulated interest, calculated as:
  [ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} ]
  • In this equation, ( A ) = total amount, ( P ) = principal, ( r ) = annual interest rate, ( n ) = frequency of interest application, ( t ) = number of periods.
• Interest rates are crucial for making informed financial decisions regarding investments, loans, and savings.
