$20%$ increase

To find a percent increase or decrease, you can use the method:

$"change"/"original"xx 100%$

The attendance increased from an amount of $300$ to $360$

This is an increase of $360-300 =60$

$60/300 xx 100%$

You can simplify as:

$cancel60^1/cancel300_5 xx 100% = 20%$

Or as:

$60/cancel300_3 xx cancel100% =20%$
