#20%# increase

Explanation:

To find a percent increase or decrease, you can use the method:

#"change"/"original"xx 100%#

The attendance increased from an amount of # 300# to #360#

This is an increase of #360-300 =60#

#60/300 xx 100%#

You can simplify as:

#cancel60^1/cancel300_5 xx 100% = 20%#

Or as:

#60/cancel300_3 xx cancel100% =20%#
