The Mathematical Formula
((New - Old) / Old) * 100

The classic growth formula is: Percentage Increase = ((New − Old) / Old) × 100

Detailed breakdown: 1. Subtract: New Value minus Old Value = Amount of Increase. 2. Divide: Amount of Increase divided by Old Value = Growth Ratio. 3. Convert: Growth Ratio multiplied by 100 = Percentage Increase.

Example: You bought a collectible for $50 and it is now worth $75. 1. 75 - 50 = $25 increase. 2. 25 / 50 = 0.5. 3. 0.5 × 100 = 50% increase.
