Anyone any good at maths?

My achilles heel if you will. Does anyone know what percentage increase 41,500 to 145,000 is?

Cheers for any help

 

(Change/Original)x100=

 

250% then? Cheers mate, much appreciated nt

 

At a guess I would say 350 % nt

 

its a little over 350% nt

 

I'm confused now!

41,500 x 3.5 = 145,000 suggesting its 350% but put through that formula (103,500 / 41,500 x 100) its 250%??

see here

145,00/41,500=3.186...... *100 =349%

 

This website tells you...

349.397591% is about the closest I can be bothered to get without doing it using a formula

 

oops

used the wrong number!

 

Right I now have 3 possible answers

250% from a website called "Crazy squirrel"
318% with a provided formula
350% which was my initial guess but confirmed by (amoungst others) Young Nudger

 

RE: Right I now have 3 possible answers

just been sad enough to do it and fraser 32 is correct!

 

I'm almost certain it's a 250% increase.

145k is 350% of 41.5k but the increase 100% less than this taking into account we have 41.5k in both times.

 

try 41500 * 3.5

 

No, but you've already got 1 to start with. The increase is what we want, not a number as a percentage of another.

 

I can see the logic in that....I think! nt

 

249.39% The Mannster is right

 

the 1 u start with is 100%
