The learning approach proposes that behavior is acquired through learning experiences. This perspective considers mental processes and genetics as relatively unimportant in determining our behavior. Instead, the focus is on observable behaviors, viewing the investigation of mental processes and unconscious forces as unscientific and untestable.
The early 20th century saw a rejection of unscientific methods and a shift towards a more scientific study of human behavior.

Percentages
% of whole amount: part of whole / whole amount
% increase or decrease: (New / original x 100) – 100
Find % of amount: A x % / 100
% profit/loss amount: profit or loss / cost price x 100
GST Example
(GST = Amount / 11)
The total amount already includes the GST. The GST is 10% of the total excluding GST.
If we divide the total excluding GST into 10 equal amounts then:
- one of these amounts is equal to the GST and
- 11 of these amounts gives us the total including GST
Amount / 11
