the increase is 200% yes but multiply that into 2,000,000 you get 4,000,000

my god your right

Answer 9

Lol so it's 200%? How exactly do I find this out though, that's the only confusing part ! :(

Answer 10

get the base value and that is 100% so if it was 10 100% of 10 is 10 so if the new number was 30 that would be 300% of 10

Oh alright! thank you !!
