If you take the larger number and divide it by the smaller, then multiply it by 100, you get the percentage increase. In your case, 1367/1236*100 = 110.6% so you have a 10.6% increase.How to calculate percentage ?
last week sale = 1236

Present week sale=1367

difference= 1367-1236

= 131



increased percentage = (difference/last week sale) * 100



=( 131/1236) * 100



= 10.59 %How to calculate percentage ?
The second week sale is (1367/1236)*100 = 110.6% of sale in the first week. That is , the sale has increased by 10.6%.
1367 - 1236 = 131



131/1236 x 100% = 10.6%



The increase in sales was 10.6%
