Answer 3

Always with a percentage first decide what is the 'original' amount that represents 100%. 16.65 is the original amount here.

First what is 1%
=16.65/100

Then how many 1%'s go into 19.98 so you know what 19.98 is as a percentage.

16.65/100 * X = 19.98

X = 19.98/16.65 * 100
X= 120%

percentage increase means "how much over 100%"
= 20% increase.
