Explanation:

the original price was $225.

that is the 100% we are basing on.

the new price is $340.

the difference is 340 - 225 = $115

to know the % increase we need to calculate how many % of the original 100% are these $115.

1% = 100%/100 = 225/100 = $2.25

$115 are as many % as 1% fits into it :

115 / 2.25 = 51.11111111...% ≈ 51%

if we need to include the additional $50 bags fee, then the price difference is not $115 but $165.

165/2.25 = 73.33333333...% ≈ 73%

the percent increase of the ticket is about 51%.

the percent increase with the baggage fee is about 73%.
