    In 2007, there were an estimated 80 million active users on Facebook. Between 2007 and 2015, Facebook’s active member base increased by 1,070%. That number continued to grow over time. As of March 2015, Facebook boasted 936 million active users. Approximately how many active users did Facebook have in 2015?
    ::2007年,Facebook上估计有8000万活跃用户。 2007至2015年间,Facebook的活跃成员基础增长了1070 % 。 这一数字在一段时间内继续增长。 截至2015年3月,Facebook拥有9.36亿活跃用户。 2015年Facebook拥有大约多少活跃用户?

    In this concept, you will learn to use the percent of change to find a new  amount .
    ::在这个概念中,你将学会使用变化的百分率来寻找新的数额。

    Using Percent of Change
    ::使用变化百分比

    If you are given the   or the   and the original amount, you can find the new amount by using the following formula:
    ::如果给定了原始数额或原始数额,则使用以下公式可以找到新数额:

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount

    Let’s apply this formula to a problem.
    ::让我们把这个公式应用到问题上。

    Find the new number when 75 is decreased by 40%.
    ::当 75 减少 40% 时, 查找新数字 。

    First, find the amount of change.
    ::首先,找到变化的金额。

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount = 40 % × 75

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 0.40 × 75 = 30

    Now, since the original number is being decreased, subtract the amount of change from the original number to find the new number.

    75 30 = 45

    The answer is when 75 is decreased by 40%, the new number is 45.
    ::答案是当75人减少40%时, 新的数字是45人。

    Let’s look at another example.
    ::让我们再看看另一个例子。

    Find the new number when 28 is increased by 125%.
    ::当 28 增加 125% 时, 查找新数字 。

    First, find the amount of change.
    ::首先,找到变化的金额。

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount = 125 % × 28

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 1.25 × 28 = 35
    Now, since the original number is being increased, add the amount of change to the original number to find the new number.

    28 + 35 = 63

    The answer is when 28 is increased by 125%, the new number is 63.
    ::答案是当28人增加125%时, 新的数字是63人。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Facebook and its number of active users.
    ::更早之前, 脸书及其活跃用户数量出现问题,

    The member base increased 1,070% between 2007, when it was 80 million active users, and 2015. How many active users did Facebook have in 2015?
    ::2007年是8 000万活跃用户,2015年是2015年。 2015年Facebook有多少活跃用户?

    First, find the amount of change.
    ::首先,找到变化的金额。

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount = 1 , 070 % × 80  million

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 10.70 × 80  million = 856  million

    Now, since the original number is being increased, add the amount of change to the original number to find the new number.
    ::现在,既然最初的号码正在增加, 请在原来的号码上加上更改的金额, 以找到新的号码 。

    80   million + 856   million = 936   million

    The answer is the number of active Facebook users in 2015 was 936 million.
    ::答案是2015年Facebook活跃用户人数为9.36亿。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    The population of Westville grew from 25,000 to 27,000 in two years. What was the percent of increase for this period of time?
    ::Westville的人口在两年内从25 000人增长到27 000人。 这一时期的增长百分比是多少?

    First, find the amount of the change by subtracting.
    ::首先,通过减去找到变化的金额。

    The amount of change is  27 , 000 25 , 000 = 2 , 000
    ::变动额为27,000 -25,000=2,000

    Next, find the percent of the increase.
    ::接下来,找到增长的百分之一。

    Percent of increase or decrease = Amount of change Original amount = 2 , 000 25 , 000 = 2 25 = 0.08 = 8 %

    The answer is the population increased 8% over this period of time.
    ::答案是,在这一时期,人口增加了8%。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Find the new number when 45 is increased by 10%.
    ::当 45 增加 10% 时, 查找新数字 。

    First, find the amount of change.
    ::首先,找到变化的金额。

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount = 10 % × 45

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 0.10 × 45 = 4.5

    Now, since the original number is being increased, add the amount of change to the original number to find the new number.
    ::现在,既然最初的号码正在增加, 请在原来的号码上加上更改的金额, 以找到新的号码 。

    45 + 4.5 = 49.5

    The answer is when 45 is increased by 10%, the new number is 49.5.
    ::答案是 当45人增加10%时 新的数字是49.5

    Example 4

    ::当 80 减少 15% 时, 查找新数字 。

    First, find the amount of change.
    ::首先,找到变化的金额。

    Amount of change = percent of change × original amount = 15 % × 80

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 0.15 × 80 = 12
    Now, since the original number is being decreased, subtract the amount of change from the original number to find the new number.

    80 12 = 68

    The answer is when 80 is decreased by 15%, the new number is 68.
    ::答案是,当80人减少15%时,新的数字是68人。

    Next, change the percent to a decimal and multiply to find the percent of change.
    ::接下来,将百分比修改为小数点后,乘以找到变化的百分比。

    = 0.25 × 50 = 12.5

    Now, since the original number is being increased, add the amount of change to the original number to find the new number.
