If you would like to know what is the percent markup from 125 to 200, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 125 = 200
x% * 125 = 200
x/100 * 125 = 200 /*100/125
x = 200 * 100 / 125
x = 160%

160% - 100% = 60%

The correct result would be 60%.

25 is equal to 20% of 125
As the increase is 75 (200-125), you've then got to divide the increase by each part to find out how many times it increases.
75/25= 3
20*3= 60
Therefore, there is an increase of 60%
Hope this helps :)
