The picture was first {verbed1} to {prop1}% of its original size. So we need to multiply its size by $ \\frac{\\var{prop1}}{100}=\\simplify{{prop1}/100}$ or {{prop1}/100}. 

\n

The first copy is then {verbed2} by {prop2}%  so we need to multiply by $\\frac{\\var{prop2rel}}{100}=\\simplify{{prop2rel}/100}$  or {{prop2rel}/100}.

\n

To find out how the size of the final copy compares to the original we need to multiply these two numbers together.

\n

Using fractions we have:

\n

\\[\\simplify{{prop1}/100} \\times \\simplify{{prop2rel}/100} = \\simplify{{prop1*prop2rel}/10000}\\] 

\n

\\[\\simplify{{prop1*prop2rel}/10000} \\times 100 = \\var{final}. \\] So the final copy is {final}% of the size of the original picture.

\n

Using decimals we have:

\n

{{prop1}/100} $\\times$ {{prop2rel}/100} = {{prop1}*{prop2rel}/10000} = {final}%.

Scale a page to some percentage of its original size, then increase/decrease by another percentage. Find the size of the final copy as a percentage of the original.
