my quota is 3000 cases and last year I sold 1887 cases

what percentage of increase is 3000 cases?



The numerical increase is 3000-1887 or 1113



 Then we ask:



"What percent of 1887 is 1113?



Let x = decimal increase. 



3000x = 1113



    x = 1113/1887



    x = .5898 or 58.98% increase, approximately
