Answer 1

12.5%

Explanation:

Answer 2

for Percentage increase, just use this simple formula:

% inc. = (final - first ) / (first) and whatever you get multiply it by 100.
so, its going to look sth like this>> (900 - 800) / (800) = 0.125
now, 0.125 x 100 = 12.5%.

Thats your final answer
Hope this helped.
