If the new is greater than the original, then it is an increase

Since the new is 90

Since the original is 80

90 > 80

New > original

Then it is the increase

To find the percent of increase subtract them and divide it by the original, then multiply the answer by 100%


\text{Increase =}(90-80)/(80)*100

The increasing percent is 12.5%
