Question

How to find the increase in percentage?
is there any formula

Answer 1

If the initial value of \(x\) say, is \(x_0\), and some later values is \(x_1\)
The percentage increase is
\[\frac{x_0-x_1}{x_0}\times100\%\]

Answer 2

ok thanks but no thanks because i got my answer

Answer 3

whoops* i got it a bit wrong

\[\frac{x_1-x_0}{x_0}\times100\%\]

Answer 4

for example if some cat was 5kg, and then a year latter it is 5.5kg

the percentage increase is
(5.5kg - 5kg )/5 kg * 100%
= 0.5kg/5kg*100%
= 1/10*100%
= 10%

the cat has increase by 10%
