    If something is 200% greater, it means that it's more than something else by 200%.

    You often hear stuff like, "Attendance was up by 50%" or something, which is similar.

    Let's say one day, 1000 students come to school.

    The next day, attendance goes up by 50%.

    You take 50% of 1000 (500) and add it to 1000

    1500.

    If attendance went up by 200% (from 1000), you'd do the same thing.

    Take 200% of 1000 (2000) and add it to 1000.

    3000.

    It's generally used to say how much more something is than something else.
