Answer 1

4809 MINUS 3482 = 1327

1327 DIVIDED by 3482 = 0.381

0.381 MULTIPLY by 100 = 38.1 % increase

Answer 2

small number / big number x 100

So,

1327/3482 x 100 = 38.11%

Answer 3

Not a tax question

Answer 4

percentage difference is....the difference, divided by the original number, times 100%

1325/3482 =38.05%

Answer 5

You want to find out the percentage increase - so you have worked out the difference between the two, you put this over the starting number (3282) then multiply by 100. So 1325 divided by 3482 is 0.38, multiply this by 100 gives you an increase of 38%. Hope this helps!
