Worked Examples

Example 1: Investment Growth

Suppose you invested $1,000 and after one year, your investment grew to $1,200. To find the percentage increase:

Percentage Increase = [($1,200 - $1,000) / $1,000] × 100 = 20%

This means your investment increased by 20% over the year.

Example 2: Savings Account

If you had $500 in a savings account and it grew to $650 after interest was applied, the percentage increase would be:

Percentage Increase = [($650 - $500) / $500] × 100 = 30%

This indicates a 30% increase in your savings.
