You might also find it cheaper at a graphics supply store.
It is called a proportion wheel or a proportional scale.

It can also be calculated on a computer but the wheel is definitely easier.

Once you set your % you can simply rotate the wheel (I tape the window so it does not inadvertently shift as you rotate it) to see other measurements and what their corresponding reduction (or enlargement) would be.
