Example 1: What is the percent increase from 50 to 62?

Using the formula,

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Percentage\; Increase}=(\frac{\mathrm{Final\; Value}}{\mathrm{Initial\; Value}}\mathrm{ -}1)\times 100\%}$ ,

we have:

Initial Value = 50

Final Value = 62

We get

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Percentage\; Increase}=(\frac{\mathrm{62}}{\mathrm{50}}\mathrm{ -}1)\times 100\%}$

Percentage increase = 24%

Example 2: What is the percent increase from 90 to 108?

Using the formula,

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Percentage\; Increase}=(\frac{\mathrm{Final\; Value}}{\mathrm{Initial\; Value}}\mathrm{ -}1)\times 100\%}$ ,

we have:

Initial Value = 90

Final Value = 108

We get

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Percentage\; Increase}=(\frac{\mathrm{108}}{\mathrm{90}}\mathrm{ -}1)\times 100\%}$

Percentage increase = 20%

Example 1: Increase the number 60 by 30%?

Using the formula,

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Increase\; a\; Number\; by\; a\; Percentage}=(1+\frac{\mathrm{Percent\; value}}{100})\times \mathrm{original\; value}}$

we have:

Original Value = 60

Percent Value = 30

We get

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Increase\; a\; Number\; by\; a\; Percentage}=(1+\frac{\mathrm{30}}{100})\times \mathrm{60}}$

Increased value = 78

Example 2: Increase the number 100 by 100%?

Using the formula,

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Increase\; a\; Number\; by\; a\; Percentage}=(1+\frac{\mathrm{Percent\; value}}{100})\times \mathrm{original\; value}}$

we have:

Original Value = 100

Percent Value = 100

We get

${\displaystyle \mathrm{Increase\; a\; Number\; by\; a\; Percentage}=(1+\frac{\mathrm{100}}{100})\times \mathrm{100}}$

Increased value = 200
