if my original number is 800 and my new number is 1,216 what is my percent?
We can represent percent as a fraction such as 10% is the same as 10/100
We can do the same to this, where the bottom(the hundred) is the starting number and is 100% of the number you want. Then we put the new number on top
1216/800 = 1.52
So 152%
