The amount multiplied by 1.2
Percentage increase = (increase-original amount)/(original amount) times 100
The starting point is the original value or amount before the increase. To calculate the rate of increase, you divide the amount of increase by the original value and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Subtract the previous year from the current year. Take that amount and divide by the previous year's amount. That will give you the percent. Example: Current assets 2010 550,000 2009 533,000 Increase of 17,000, percent increase is 3.2%
Ram : The amount of increase is the new value after growth less the original amount before the growth. The percent growth is the amount of increase times 100% divided by the original amount. As an example, let's say the number of employee in a company grows from 800 one year to 896 the next. First, subtract: 896 - 800 = 96. This is the increase. Next, divide by the original amount: 96(100%) / 800 = 12%. This is the percent increase.
