You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any percentage increase or decrease can be calculated thus
percentage+change+=+%28actual+change%29%2Foriginal+amount*100%
so you need to find the actual change
400-375=25 (the actual change)
So the percentage increase is calculated like this
percentage+change+=+25%2F400*100%
using a calculator we find
0.625*100% = 6.25%
