Well 10% of $1240 is $124 because you just move the decimal place one to the left. Then what is $1240-$124? $1116
Yes, that is one way of figuring it out, that is true. HOWEVER: there is a much faster route, that, in itself, is 100% easier, faster, and much more foolproof, once you've got it down. Just remember: when you're subtracting a percent, your decimal should be less than 1, and when adding, it should be more than 1. Here's some examples that should well explain the process themselves:
*Example 1 (Subtracting a %) : [$1,240 - 10% = ?] [10% = 0.1] [1 - 0.1 = 0.9] [$1,240 x 0.9 = $1,116 (Use a calculator only if necessary.)]
*Example 2 (Adding a %) : [$1,240 + 10% = ?] [10% = 0.1] [1 + 0.1 = 1.1] [$1,240 x 1.1 = $1,364]
*I've placed the examples in step-by-step instructions, of which are designated by the brackets ("[" & "]").

Why is it possible to have an increase of 150 percent in price but not a 150 percent decrease in price?
Think of it like this, you have 2 dollars. 2 dollars is 100 percent, so 150 is 3 dollars. However there is no negative percentage, so if you have 2 dollars can you take away 3? No, so that means u can never have a deduction of more than you have with percentages.
