Answer 6

(900-800)/800*100 = 12.5 %

or

(900,000 - 800,000) / (800,000)
100,000/800,000 = 0.125
0.125 * 100 = 12.5%

Answer 10

Alright, our starting value is: 800,000, the final value is 900,000
Percentage increase can be found by taking the difference between 900,000 and 800,000

So... 900,000 - 800,0000 = 100,000
We know now the increase was $100,000
Divide this value by the original/starting value ($800,000) and then * 100.
\[(100,000 \div 800,000) \times 100 = 12.5\]
