Example Percentage Increase scenario

Last year in the 2nd quarter, your company generated $79,000 in revenue. This year in Q2, the company did $112,500 in sales. You want to know the percentage increase for a pitch to investors you have coming up. How do you find it?

Step 1: 112,500 - 79,000 = 33,500

Step 2: 33,500 / 79,000 = 0.424

Step 3 : 0.424 * 100 = 42.4%

So your business increased it's year over year sales in Q2 by 42.4%.
