Answer 6

Right, now you want to see the percentage increase from the ORIGINAL number. This means that you would divide the difference from the original number.

\(\huge\bf{\frac{100000}{800000} =?}\)

What does that equal to?

Answer 7

0.125 ?

Answer 8

Correct. Now to turn it into percentage you bring the decimal to the right 2 times. This means your percentage is `12.5%` if you round it will equal to `13%`.
