I think it's a 38.9% increase ... The difference between £125000 and £90000 is £35,000.
So you need to find what percentage £35,000 is of £90,000, so that's 35,000 divided by 90,000, then multiply this by 100 to find the percentage.

You take the difference between 125000 and 90000 (35000) and divide it by 90000. 35000/90000 equals 0.38888.
It's calculus. The change over the base.

38.89% increase, making it 138.89% of what it was before.
x/100 x 90000 = 125000 (x% of 90000 is 125000)
Rearrange the equation
x = 125000 x 100 / 90000

90000*x = 125000
x = 1.38 or 138% more than your original, or a 38% increase
