What is 25% increase?

A 25% increase means you get 25 more parts out of every 100 parts.

Imagine you have a bag of 4 favorite candies, that’s your starting amount. A 25% increase is like getting one extra candy for every 4 you had before. So now, instead of having just 4 candies, you have 5!

The word “percent” means per hundred. So when we say 25%, it’s the same as saying 25 out of 100.

Think about a pizza that has 100 slices. A 25% increase would mean you get 25 extra slices, so now your pizza has 125 slices!

If you had 100 marbles, a 25% increase means adding 25 more marbles, now you have 125.

If you had only 4 marbles, it’s the same as getting one extra marble for every four you already had. So from 4 marbles, you get to 5!

That’s how a 25% increase works, just like getting more of something you love!
