8th grade / Number / Percentages / Using percentages / Percentage change
To compare two quantities and work out the percentage increase or decrease, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the difference between the two quantities.
Subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity to find the difference. For example, if the temperature of a liquid started at 50° and increased to 60°, the difference is 10°.
Step 2: Divide the difference by the original quantity and multiply by 100.
To find the percentage increase or decrease, divide the difference by the original quantity and multiply by 100. If the difference is positive, it is a percentage increase, and if the difference is negative, it is a percentage decrease. For example, if the initial temperature is 50°, then the percentage increase would be:
Difference = 60° - 50° = 10°
Percentage increase = (10/50) x 100 = 20%
Therefore, the temperature increased by 20%.
So, to compare two quantities and work out the percentage increase or decrease, you need to calculate the difference between the two quantities, divide the difference by the original quantity, multiply by 100, and include the percent sign in the answer.
With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Percentage change" from 8th grade / Number / Percentages / Percentages. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to compare two quantities to work out the percentage increase or decrease.
In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.
You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...
This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
