Answer 3

A person always have a guess but that guess some times does not lead to the answer. I just wanted to know your guess. Anyways, Lets start with an easy example, Let say you are paid $2 dollar in a hour but next hour you are paid $1 more, what is the percentage increase?

Answer 4

!% Increase

Answer 5

!% ?

Answer 6

Answer 7

1% is incorrect, tell me what is half of 2?

Answer 8

1

Answer 9

but I can say "1" is 50% of "2" right?

Answer 10

Yea

Answer 11

So if I pay you 2 dollar per hour, next hour you are paid $1 more, whats the increase?

Answer 12

50%

Answer 13

Correct, so you are getting 50% more of the original amount which was $2, therefore the increase is 50%. Now apply the concept to the question you posted.

Answer 14

We know "1" is half of "2" which I can write as \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]and if I multiply by "100", I converted half in to percentage. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*100=50\]

Answer 15

Can you tell me how we will solve the original question using the concept I showed?

Answer 16

percent means per 100
set up a ratio
increase : original is the same as x:100 where x is the percentage; the amount out of 100
for this problem the increase is 2000 and the original is 20350
