Exploring Percent Increase and Decrease with Double Number Lines

The video tutorial introduces Sedona's awesome map network and demonstrates how to use double line graphs to solve percentage-related questions. The example problem involves determining the original capacity of a cereal box after a 20% increase. The instructor explains the process of using a double line graph to visualize the problem, calculate percentages, and find the original amount. Alternative methods for solving the problem are also discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of percentage increase and decrease. The lesson concludes with a recap of the key concepts covered.
