1. Divide the bigger number by the smaller number.e.g. 15 and 10. 15 divided by 10 is 1.52. Subtract 1e.g. 1.5 minus 1 is 0.53. Convert to a percentage by multiplying the answer by 100e.g. 0.5 x 100 = 50%4. The answer is the percentage increase. In the example above, the answer '50%' means that 10 was increased by 50% (of 10) to make 15
