That’s the wrong way.
102 is the initial value, therefore 100%

Its not 1000%… The change is FROM 102 to 1020… So you need to calculate the %ge of 918 over 102… 918 being the difference between 102 and 1020…

I fear for you kids…

It can’t be 1000%. We calculate the percent of change after we calculate the change its self.

Thats right..
Isnt it: 1020 - 102= 918
and if 102 > 100%
918 > ??
cross multiply: 918 x 100= 91 800
then you divide it= 91 800/ 102= 900%

%ge Change = {(End Position less Initial Position)/Initial position} X 100

So, 1020 less 102 = 918

918 divided by 102 = 9

9 * 100 = 900

Therefore, 900%

You can have it easier:

1000& - 100% is the real increase.

How?

By subtracting (minussing) 102 from 1020…

Your question basically says, how much MORE do you need to make 102 into 1020…

The answer is you need 918 MORE… Now, How do you represent something as a percentage?

By making it a fraction of the FIRST number (102) and multiplying it by 100…

Viola, 900%

lol because in victoria, bc, the CRD is planning on making a secondary wastewater treatment plant.

however, it will cost over 1billion to build and sustain, and that it will give a carbon footprint equal to that of 8000 cars annually (nearly double during construction) and they insist on building it, even tho the current water treatment is eco friendly cost effective and harmless to marine and human life

in other words, there is not benefit to building it. and they want to tax Victoria to do it.

original bill X percentage change = new bill
$102 X % = $1,020
$1,020/$102=10

as percentages are normally worked out in decimals, I think that means 900%?
102 = 100%
102*9 = 900%
102 + 900% = 1,020

I guess it would be better to say in your essay “this new xxxxxx would cost 1000% of what the original cost,” since you get to say 1000 instead of 900 and people will be like “omg! Three zeros! Thats a big frigging number!”

Sorry for my typo earlier!

102 + 0% = 102
102 + 100% = 204
102 + 200% = 306
102 + 300% = 408

So, it’s a 900% increase.
