Lets think this thru, the zero might be getting you. This is how to calc
percent increase.

Let's say an automobile you wanted to buy was $20,000, but now you see it
has increased to $25,000, what is the percent increase.

First find absolute increase:

25000-20000=5000

The percentage increase is the relative change:

5000/20000=.25

Hope this helps at least the thought process.
