🧮 Percentage Increase Formulas
Basic Formula
Percentage Increase = [(New - Original) ÷ Original] × 100
Example: Original = 100, New = 150
[(150 - 100) ÷ 100] × 100 = 50%
Reverse Calculation
Original Value = New Value ÷ (1 + Percentage Increase/100)
Example: New = 150, Increase = 50%
150 ÷ (1 + 50/100) = 100
Multiplier Method
New Value = Original × (1 + Percentage Increase/100)
Example: Original = 100, Increase = 50%
100 × (1.5) = 150
