Percent Increase | MathHelp.com

This lesson covers percent increase. Students learn to find the percent increase or percent decrease between two numbers, using the following formula: amount of change/ original number. For example, to find the percent decrease if the price changes from $60 to $39, since the amount of change is $21, and the original number is $60, the percent decrease is $21/$60, which simplifies to 0.35. And remember that the answer is a percent, so move the decimal point two places to the right, to get 35%. So if the price changes from $60 to $39, the percent decrease is 35%.

What about the other way around when you already have the percentage? I'm trying to calculate the original number of fatal accidents in Turkey from 2005. The number of fatal accidents increased by 90% to 168512 between 2005 and 2014. What was the original number of fatal accidents? I can't seem to do anything to get back to 168512 no matter what I try.
