Calculation of Percentage Increase

To calculate the increase of a value by a certain percentage, the following formula is used:

Result = Initial Value + (Initial Value × Percentage ÷ 100)

Example:

$ 100 after a 20 % increase is then, the value: 100 + (100 × 20 ÷ 100) = $ 120
50 people after a 30 % increase is then, the value: 50 + (50 × 30 ÷ 100) = 65 people
