Examples of Percentage Increase Calculations
House Price Example
Given:
- Initial Price: 40,000 (2021)
- Final Price: 55,000 (2022)
Calculation:
[(55,000 - 40,000) / 40,000] × 100
= (15,000 / 40,000) × 100
= 37.5%
= (15,000 / 40,000) × 100
= 37.5%
Result: 37.5% increase
Bike Value Example
Given:
- Purchase Price: 25,000
- Market Price: 35,000
Calculation:
[(35,000 - 25,000) / 25,000] × 100
= (10,000 / 25,000) × 100
= 40%
= (10,000 / 25,000) × 100
= 40%
Result: 40% increase
