    The pure numerical increase in this case would be 768 - 640 = 128 students. To find the percent increase this represents, we find first that the fraction of the original value 128 takes up is

    128/640 = 1/5

    As a decimal, 1/5 = 0.2, which we can then multiply by 100 to find our percent increase: 0.2 x 100 = 20%.
