    130%

    Explanation:

    To calculate the percentage increase:

    We work out first the difference between the two numbers.

    Increase = Purchase Value per head - Shipped Value per head

    =115 - 50

    =65 cents

    Next, we divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

    % increase = 65/50 * 100

    =130%

    There is a percentage increase of 130% per head.
