The picture has been {verbed1} to {prop1}% or $\\simplify{{prop1}/100} \\left(=\\frac{\\var{prop1}}{100}\\right)$ of its original size.

\n

So to find the size of the first copy we multiply the original size by $\\simplify{{prop1}/100}$.

\n

If we then {verbed2} the new size by {prop2}%, the final copy would be {prop2rel}% of the size of the first copy, i.e. $\\simplify{{prop2rel}/100}$ of the size of the first copy.

\n

To get the size of the final copy as a proportion of the size of the original copy, we multiply $\\simplify{{prop1}/100}$ by $\\simplify{{prop2rel}/100}$ to get

\n

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

\n

Now to express this as a percentage we multiply by 100 and we obtain:

\n

\\[\\simplify{{prop1*prop2rel}/10000} \\times 100 = \\var{final}\\%.\\]

\n

So the final copy is {final}% of the size of the original picture.
