Answer:

  1. 75%
  2. 150%
  3. 90%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the percentage multiplier associated with the following changes:

  1. 25% decrease
  2. 50% increase
  3. 10% decrease

Multiplier

To find the multiplier, add 1 to the change. When you want the multiplier in percent, then add 100% to the change expressed as a percent. (1 = 100%)

1. 25% fewer

  100% -25% = 75% . . . . of last year

2. 50% increase

  100% +50% = 150% . . . . of sales last month

3. 10% less

  100% -10% = 90% . . . . of last marathon's time
