Question

How to convert percent increase or decrease into a multiplier

Answer 1

In case of an increase use this formula

`mutiplier = 1 + (\%)/(100)`
So if the percentage of increase of 6%, the multiplier will be

`1 + (6)/(100) = 1.06`

In case of a decrease, the formula is mostly the same.

`mutiplier = 1 - (\%)/(100)`
So if the percentage of decrease is 6%, the multiplier will be

`1 - (6)/(100) = 0.94`
