Answer:
It's pretty simple. For example, if it says there is a percentage increase on something like there is a jacket for $25 and there was a 15% increase, you multiply 25 by 1.15 to see what the new price is. But say if the same $25 jacket is on sale for 15%, then you can multiply 25 by .15, then subtract that from 25 or originally subtract the 15% from 100 which is 85 and multiply 25x.85 and get the answer directly.
Hope this helps! But this would be easier to explain with an example
