This page will answer the question "What is the percent increase from 580 to 738?" and also show you how to calculate the percent increase from 580 to 738.
Before we continue, note that "percent increase from 580 to 738" is the same as "the percentage increase from 580 to 738". Furthermore, we will refer to 580 as the initial value and 738 as the final value.
So what exactly are we calculating? The initial value is 580, and then a percent is used to increase the initial value to the final value of 738. We want to calculate what that percent is!
Here are step-by-step instructions showing you how to calculate the percent increase from 580 to 738.
First, we calculate the amount of increase from 580 to 738 by subtracting the initial value from the final value, like this:
738 - 580
To calculate the percent of any number, you multiply the value (n) by the percent (p) and then divide the product by 100 to get the answer, like this:
(n × p) / 100 = Answer
In our case, we know that the initial value (n) is 580 and that the answer (amount of increase) is 158 to get the final value of 738. Therefore, we fill in what we know in the equation above to get the following equation:
(580 × p) / 100 = 158
Next, we solve the equation above for percent (p) by first multiplying each side by 100 and then dividing both sides by 580 to get percent (p):
(580 × p) / 100 = 158
((580 × p) / 100) × 100 = 158 × 100
580p = 15800
580p / 580 = 15800 / 580
p = 27.2413793103448
Percent Increase ≈ 27.2414
That's all there is to it! The percentage increase from 580 to 738 is 27.2414%. In other words, if you take 27.2414% of 580 and add it to 580, then the sum will be 738.
The step-by-step instructions above were made so we could clearly explain exactly what a percent increase from 580 to 738 means. For future reference, you can use the following percent increase formula to calculate percent increases:
((f - n)/n) × 100 = p
f = Final Value
n = Initial Value
p = Percent Increase
Once again, here is the math and the answer to calculate the percent increase from 580 to 738 using the percent increase formula above:
((f - n)/n) × 100
= ((738 - 580)/580) × 100
= (158/580) × 100
= 0.272413793103448 × 100
