Prob Definition: What % increase is 145000 to 147991

Solution Method 1:

Prob Translation:

% = (larger # / smaller # - 1) * 100

% = (147991 / 145000 -1) * 100

% = (1.020627586206896551724137931034483 - 1) * 100

% = 0.020627586206896551724137931034483 * 100

% = 2.0627586206896551724137931034483

% = ~2

check:

smaller # * % + smaller # = 147991

145000 * (2.0627586206896551724137931034483%/100) + 145000 = 147991

145000 * 0.020627586206896551724137931034483 + 145000 = 147991

2991 + 145000 = 147991

147991 = 147991

Solution Method 2:

Prob Translation:

% = (larger # - smaller #) / smaller # * 100

% = (147991 - 145000) / 145000

% = 2991 / 145000

% = 0.020627586206896551724137931034483 * 100

% = 2.0627586206896551724137931034483

% = ~2

check:

smaller # * % + smaller # = 147991

145000 * (2.0627586206896551724137931034483%/100) + 145000 = 147991

145000 * 0.020627586206896551724137931034483 + 145000 = 147991

2991 + 145000 = 147991

147991 = 147991
