Ask the learners: What is 40% of 200?
Answer: 80 Have a short discussion on how

will have a 30% increase in all their products. How are you going to check if the
information given by the salesman is true?

Let the learners give their answers, some may get it correct. Learners may use
the knowledge of computing percentage. Then, tell them that they will know
more about it in your lesson for the day. These questions may be asked also to
further engage the learners to your discussion.

What comes first in your mind when you hear the following words:
Change, Increase, Decrease, Percent and Original Value?

2. Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary

Percentage increase or percent of increase measures the amount of increase
in comparison to the original value, expressed as a percentage.

C. Developing and DAY 1-2

Deepening SUB-TOPIC 1: PERCENTAGE INCREASE
Understanding 1. Explicitation
Using the same scenario, ask the learners the following questions:
A product costs ₱200.00, and the salesman told you that the price of the
product will become ₱280.00 next week. Further, the salesman said the store
will have a 30% increase in all their products. How are you going to check if the
information given by the salesman is true?

2
 Question:
A. Describe the change in price of the product. Is it an increase or a
decrease? (Answer: an increase in price)
B. How much is the increase? (Answer: 280 - 200 = 80)
C. What is 30% of 200? (Answer: 60)
In this question, learners can now say whether the salesman statement
is true or false.
D. What is the percentage increase?

You may pause here because most probably the learners do not know the
answer. Lead the discussion to the key ideas presented below: It is recommended that you write
them on the board or show

PROBLEM SOLVING
Tell learners that the concept of percentage increase is a common scenario
in real life. The problems below are some of the many examples. Involve your
learners in the discussion of the solution of the problems. You may ask a
learner to read the problem. Then apply Polya’s strategy in solving problems,
in constructing guide questions in your discussion/brainstorming.

Example 2: A Jollibee branch recorded ₱100,000 sales in one week. After a week
it became ₱150,000. Find the percentage increase of its sales.

To solve the problem, let us first identify the original value and the new value.
Then plug in the values in the formula.

(150,000 − 100,000)
100,000
Solution: Percent of increase = x 100% = .50 or 50%

5
 Ask the learners these questions while discussing the solution.
1. What is the difference between the new value and the original value?
2. Which is greater? The original value or the new value?
3. By how much? How did you solve the difference?
4. Does the answer show an increase or decrease?

Example 3: The original price of a liter of petroleum is ₱67.00. The oil exporting
company adjusted the price to Php 68.34 for each liter. Find the percentage
increase in the price of each liter of petroleum.
Solution:
Original value: 67.00 New Value (new weight): 68.34
Increase: 1.34
Percent of increase = (68.34 − 67) x 100% = 0.02 or 2%
67

Example 4: The monthly salary of Mr. Shy is changed from ₱8,800.00 to

₱9,284.00. What is the percentage change in his salary?
Solution:
Original value: ₱8, 800.00 New Value: ₱9, 284.00
Increase (difference) = 484
Percent of (change) increase = (9,284.00 − 8,800.00) x 100% = .055 or 5.5%
8,800.00

least 10% to proceed to the next set of exercise, can Tom proceed to the next
set?

DAY 3-4
SUB-TOPIC 2: PERCENTAGE DECREASE
1. Explicitation
Discussion may begin with a review of the previous session. Present this
scenario:
The original price of a pair of pants was Php 850.00. In summer sales, it was
reduced to Php 500.00. Find the percentage decrease or change in the price of
the pants.

Question:
A. Describe the change in price of the pants. Was there an increase or a
decrease? (Answer: a decrease in price)
B. How much is the decrease? (Answer: 850 - 500 = 350)
C. What is the percent of decrease?

Tell the learners that the problem can be answered by referring to the
previous lesson. This time the numerator in the formula is a decrease in value
instead of increase.
These questions may be asked
Percentage decrease measures the amount of decrease in comparison to as you work on the solution of
the original value, expressed as percentage. Since the value will give a negative each example. This will help you

learners in the discussion of the solution of the problems. You may ask a
learner to read the problem. Then apply Polya’s strategy in solving problem in
constructing guide questions in your discussion/brainstorming.

Example 2: The value of a brand-new laptop worth ₱45,000.00 became

₱30,150.00 after a month of use. What is the decrease in price? What is the
percent of decrease?
Solution: Original value: 45,000 New Value:
30,150 Decrease in price = 45,000 - 30,150 = 14,850
Percent of decrease = 14,850 x 100% = .33 or 33%
45,000

Example 3: A sport enthusiast weighs 75 kilograms, after a month of tedious

exercise he weighs 66 kilograms. What is the percentage decrease of his weight
after a month?
Solution: Original value: 75 kgs New Value: 66 kgs
Decrease in weight = 9
Percent of decrease = 9 x 100% = .12 or 12%
75

 Example 4: Joseph wants to decrease his sugar level intake from 9 teaspoons
daily to 6 teaspoons to maintain a normal and healthy diet. How much
percentage decrease is from 9 teaspoons to 6 teaspoons of sugar?
Solution: Original value: 9 New Value:
6 Decrease = 3
Percent of decrease = 3 x 100% = .33… or 33.33%
