Percent increase $= 32 %$ $= 32%$

Explanation:

First, let's evaluate what percentage of $12, 250$ $12,250$ gives $16, 170$ $16,170$ :

$\Rightarrow \frac{12, 250}{100} \cdot x = 16, 170$ $=> (12,250) / (100) cdot x = 16,170$

$\Rightarrow 122.5 x = 16, 170$ $=> 122.5 x = 16,170$

$\Rightarrow x = 132 %$ $=> x = 132%$

This means that $132 %$ $132%$ of $12, 250$ $12,250$ is equal to $16, 170$ $16,170$ .

$100 %$ $100%$ of any number is equal to that number.

$\Rightarrow 100 %$ $=> 100%$ of $12, 250 = 12, 250$ $12,250 = 12,250$

So if we added $32 %$ $32%$ of $12, 250$ $12,250$ to itself, we would get $16, 170$ $16,170$ .

Therefore, the percent increase is $32 %$ $32%$ .
