    To calculate the percentage increase: First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

    2075-1589=486

    486*100/1589=30.58%

    Rounding it we get,

    30.6%

    =31%
