The original prize: 14.649

New prize: 23.609

(the years here are not relevant, just to confuse you with more numbers)

the increase is 23.609-14.649=8.960

If we want to know the percentage, we need to know what percentage of the original prize is 8.960.

this is calculated like this:


(8960)/(14609)= 0.61164

ti make it into percentage, we multiply by 100%: 61.164%
