How do I calculate a percentage increase?

To calculate a percentage increase, subtract the original number from the new number, divide that difference by the original number, and multiply by 100.

Is 50% of 100 the same as 100% of 50?

Yes. Percentages are reversible. x% of y is always equal to y% of x. Both equal 50 in this example.
