You can follow these steps to calculate the percentage increase between two numbers:
- Subtract the original number from the new number.
- Divide the result obtained in step 1 by the original number.
- Multiply the result from step 2 by 100 to get the percentage increase.
Example:
Given that the original number is 50 and the new number is 75, calculate the percentage increase.
- Subtract the original number from the new number: 75 - 50 = 25.
- Divide the result by the original number: 25 / 50 = 0.5.
- Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage increase: 0.5 × 100 = 50%.
So, the percentage increase from 50 to 75 is 50%.
