Okay since the numbers increased, these are the steps to find the percentage.

1: find the difference between the 2 numbers. So 525 - 465 = ?

2: divide the answer you got in # 1 by the original number which is 465.

3: multiply the answer you got in number 2 by 100.

4: add a percent sign at the end of your answer in #3 and there ya go.

Technically I think its is 99% because 525+465 = 990 so in fraction it would be 990 / 1000 so if u take out a zero itwould be 99 / 100 so it would be %90
