What is the difference between 900,000 and 800,000? @Cupcake123456

Cupcake123456:

900000 – 800000 ________ 100,000

Cupcake123456:

@563blackghost

563blackghost:

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?

Cupcake123456:

0.125 ?

563blackghost:

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%`.
