Understanding Successive percent increase/decrease is very important. Since successive percentage increase/decrease is used while solving problems related to Profit, Loss, Discount & Compound Interest problems. Let us understand first concept of Multiplying Factor (M.F.) Multiplying Factor (M.F.)                                                        Case 1:   When a quantity is increased by certain percentage. A) Suppose we have to increase a value 120 by 10%. What will be the final value? Final Value= Initial Value + 10% of Initial Value                   = 120 + 10% of 120                   =120 (1+ 10%)                   =120(1+10/100)                   =120(1.1)                   =120 x 1.1=132 So now we can say for 10% increase if we multiply initial value by 1.1 we will get our fina
