increase.
How to use the calculator:
Option 1 (Direct method): Use the Increased Value CALCULATOR ("Calculate new value after percentage increase"). Enter $100 [Original] and 15% [Increase]. It will show you the new price directly.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method):
Step 1: Find the dollar amount of the gain. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter 15 [X] and $100 [Y]. It will calculate 15% of 100.
Step 2: Add that gain to the original price.
The formula:
We want the new stock price after a 15% increase from 100.
Amount of increase = 15% of 100
Amount of increase = (15 / 100) × $100 = 0.15 × $100 = $15
New stock price = Original stock price + Amount of increase = $100 + $15 = $115
