this appeared in my GCSE mock paper a few days ago and just wondering what the answer was!
It was a long passage but to sum it up the question was

Q:find the percent increase from $1600-$1800

i got 10% i think but i think i totally screwed up!

If anyone has the correct answer and reply on how you worked it out, will be appreciated! Ty

(1800-1600)/1800 x 100% = 12.5%

The increase is $200.

Since 200/1600 = 1/8, the increase is (1/8)*100 = 12.5% of the original amount.
