1. What is a 100% Increase?

A 100% increase means doubling the original value. If something increases by 100%, it becomes twice as large as it was originally.

2. How the Calculation Works

The calculation uses the formula:

\[ \text{New Value} = \text{Old Value} \times (1 + \frac{100}{100}) \]

Which simplifies to:

\[ \text{New Value} = \text{Old Value} \times 2 \]

Explanation: The 100% increase multiplier is 2, meaning you multiply the original value by 2 to get the increased amount.

3. Practical Applications

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 100% increase the same as doubling?
A: Yes, a 100% increase means exactly doubling the original value.

Q2: How is this different from a 100% of something?
A: A 100% increase means adding 100% to the original (doubling it), while 100% of something means the whole amount itself.

Q3: Can I use this for percentage decreases?
A: No, this calculator is specifically for 100% increases. For decreases, you would subtract the percentage.

Q4: What if I want a different percentage increase?
A: You would need a different calculator that allows you to input any percentage increase amount.

Q5: Does this work for negative numbers?
A: Mathematically yes (a negative number doubled is still a negative number), but in practical terms percentage increases are usually applied to positive values.
