How large is the actual floor space increase?
Find that.  Then divide that by the original measure of floor space.
Convert your result to a percentage.

anonymous · Answer

first find out how much 15,600 is to 13000. Take the percentage by:
15,600/13000 *100. 
Then whatever your answer is (over 100), subtract 100 from it and you get your answer!
