2) $640

3) 9200

4) $212.50

5) $2300

6) $4320

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase a value:

convert the percent into decimal by dividing by 100.  Add this to 1.  Multiply this by the original value.

To decrease a value:

convert the percent into decimal by dividing by 100.  Subtract this from 1. Mulitply this by the original value

1) 25000 x 1.05 = $26,250

2) 800 x 0.8 = $640

3) 8000 x 1.15 = 9200

4) 250 x 0.85 = $212.50

5) 2000 x 1.15 = $2300

6) 7200 x 0.6 = $4320

1) 100x/100= 2625000/100= 26250

2) 100x/100= 64000/100= 640

3) 100x/100= 920000/100= 9200

4) 100x/100= 21250/100= 212.5

5) 100x/100= 230000/100= 2300

6) 100x/100= 432000/100= 4320
