Wait, wouldn't the *increase* be 200%?

deadpool · Answer

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

barrycarter · Answer

Right, but they're asking for the percent increase, so isn't the answer 200%?

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

deadpool · Answer

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
