Let's set this equation up. Call the original number No and the number you have N and the percentage increase P. The equation to get the number you have ( N ) is
No + No x P = N and we want to solve for No so
No ( 1 + P ) = N
No = N / ( 1 + P )

To calculate the percentage increase from 8.80 to 17.60, you first need to find the difference between the two numbers, which is 17.60 - 8.80 = 8.80. Then, you divide this difference by the original number (8.80) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage increase: (8.80 / 8.80) * 100 = 100%. Therefore, the percentage increase from 8.80 to 17.60 is 100%.
There will be an overall increase in the first number.

Oh, dude, that's easy. So, to find the percent increase from 500 to 650, you take the difference (which is 150), then divide it by the original number (500), and finally multiply by 100. That gives you a 30% increase. Like, it's just basic math, no big deal.
