Answers
It is important to be able to convert percentages to equivalent fractions and decimals. To change a percent to a common fraction, place it in the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is one hundred and remove the percent sign. Express the resulting fraction in simplest form, For example:7% = 7/100, 6 1/3% = 6 1/3 Ö 100 = 19/3 x 1/100 = 19/300, 82% = 82/100 = 41/50, 4.8% = 4.8/100 = 48/1000 = 6/125.The fraction 13/100 means 13 divided by 100. Every time a number is divided by 100 the decimal point moves two places to the left. To change a percent to a decimal, divide the given number by 100, that is, move the decimal point two places to the left and remove the percent sign.57$ = .57125% = 1.25.39% = .003987.5% =. 875 To convert a fraction or a decimal to a percent, multiply the fraction or decimal by one hundred and place the percent sign with the result.

Answer:
Let's say the original rent was Rupees 100. He increased the rent by 15%. So the value of increased rent will be 115 rupees.
Now he again decreased this rent by 10%.
10% of 115 rupees = 11.5 rupees.
115 - 11.5 = 103.5 rupees.
Therefore the percentage increase from original rent = 103.5 - 100/100 *100
= 3.5% increase
