i.e if I had 165,000 and it increased to 174,258, how would I show this as a percentage?

((174 258 - 165 000) / 165 000)*100
The later figure minus the earlier, divided by the earler, and the result multiplied by 100 (to get a percentage).

% change is calculated by taking the change amount, dividing it by your starting value, then multiplying the result by 100.
For example, if something increased from 1 to 3, you'd take the change of 2, divide it by where we started (1), giving us 2. Then we'd multiply by 100 to turn it into a percentage. So it increased 200%.

Subtract 165,000 from 164,258 and divide it by 165,000 and multiply by 100.
Or, in this case after subtracting you can divide by 1,650.

174258-165000 = 9258 (Subtract smaller from bigger number)
9258/165000 = .00561 (Divide result by initial number)
multiply by 100
Ans: .561%
