Guided Practice: Percent Increase/Decrease

Due to the weather and the early release, all classes were a bit shorter. This worksheet (located in MTN) is what students and their partners worked on in class -- practicing with percent increases and decreases.

GUIDED PRACTICE
1. There are 16 students registered in math class a week before the semester begins. One week later there are 20 students registered for the class. What is the percent of increase?



2. On the first day of the semester, 20 students are attending in a class. At the end of the semester, there are only 16 students in the class.  What is the percent of decrease?



3. A man working for Company A is earning $8 per hour. If he gets a raise of a dollar per hour, find the percent of increase.



4. A man working for Company B is earning $12 per hour. If he gets a raise of a dollar per hour, find the percent of increase.
