Answer 1

Percentage increase `= 76.19%`

Explanation:

`210*x/100=370`

`rarr x=370/210*100=176.19%`

If the multiplication factor is `176.19%`, then this is an increase of

`176.19% - 100% = 76.19%`.

Answer 2

`76.2%` to 2 dp

Explanation:

We use the same calculation to find any change as a percent. This can be an increase, decrease, profit, loss, mark-up, discount etc ..

First find the actual change: "Bigger - smaller"

To find the change as a percent:

`"change"/"original amount" xx 100%`

In this case, the change is: `370-210 = 160`

The original amount was `210` which then increased to `370`

`160/210 xx 100%`

`= 76.19`
