Percent of increase is the product of changes in price over the original price with 100%. That is:

percent increase = (changes in price/original price) x 100%.

For example:

In a year period, the price of a stock increased from 50 dollars a share to 59 dollars a share. To find the percent of increase in the share price, compare the change in price to the original price:

percent increase = (changes in price/original price) x 100%.

= (59 dollars - 50 dollars)/50 dollars x 100%

= 18%
