    Well. The percentage increase would be 30%.

    Its would have to be rounded. If you time. 80 by the decimal of 30 percent, which is. 30 you will receive. 24, that will equal out to 1.04.

    .80 x. 30 =.24

    .80 +.24 = $1.04

    So assume. 8=100%

    1.05-0.8=iincrease=0.25

    find what. 25/.8=

    .25/.8=2.5/8 = (use calculator) = 0.3125

    percent means parts out of 100

    so

    0.3125/1 times 10/10=3.125/10 times 10/10=31.25/100

    the percentage increase was 31.25%
