Begin with the formula for percentage​change:

New value − Initial value

× 100 = percent change
Initial value

Use algebra to solve for​'New value':

New value − Initial value percent change

= ​(divide both sides by​100)
Initial value 100

Percent change
New value − Initial value = Initial value × ​(multiply both sides by the initial​value)
100

Percent change
New value = Initial value × + Initial value ​(add the initial value to both​side)
100

(substitute known values into the formula and​solve)
