is it (100/150 000) x 230 000 = 153%

^ + 1
or
(230,000-150,000)/150,000 = +53%

As above.
I remember with this simple process for calculations regarding percentages. Works for any percentage calculation, or value calculation based on a percentage difference.
£150,000 = 100% (last years total)
£230,000 = xX always to the top so...
£230,000 = x
£150,000 = 100%Make a little equation as you see it. Divide the two known values that sit one atop the other and and multiply by the third.
(230,000 / 150,000) x 100 = 153.33
So a 53.33% uplift.
The other way round, just to demonstrate... Calculate 53.33% increase in last years revenue.
150,000 = 100%
X = 153.33%(153.33 / 100) x 150,000 = 230,000.
Anyway, works for me so hope it helps you...

Impressive projections, but you flustered, and if you can't do simple sums then I'm afraid I can't work with you.

SEXIST !!!Posted 4 months ago # -
Try changing your question into maths then solve the equation...
What is the percentage (P) increase on 150,000 to get 230,000?
Translates as. P x 150000 = 230000
P. = 230000 / 1500000Don't forget to keep your equals signs lined up like your maths teacher told you to!

If my figures don't impress then I will resort to my impressive projection.
