Chained Percentages

Published on

Chained percentages refer to situations where you need to calculate the final result of a percentage change after several changes have already taken place. Here's an example:

Let's say you have $100 and you want to increase it by 10%, then decrease it by 20%, and finally increase it by 50%. To find out how much money you have at the end of these changes, you can use chained percentages.

First, you increase the 100by10100 by 10%, which gives you 110. Then, you decrease 110by20110 by 20%, which leaves you with 88. Finally, you increase 88by5088 by 50%, which gives you the final amount of 132.

In chained percentages, you need to apply each percentage change one after the other to get the final result. It's important to remember that percentage changes are always calculated based on the original amount.
