Steps:
1. Find the difference between two numbers
2. Take the difference and divide by the original number:
3. Lastly, multiply the number above by 100
So your problem would be:
1. 300-250 = 50
2. 50/250 = 0.2
3. 0.2 x 100 = 20%
So your answer is 20% :)

They received 50 more orders on Tuesday than on Monday.
50 more than the original 250 = 50/250 = 20% increase.

300/250=x/100 (percent [per centum] means per 100, according to my sixth-grade teacher, who said this over and over so we'd remember it when we got old and forgot stuff).
300 = x
----- ---
250 100
That should be 300/250=x/100. My would-be fraction bar did not come out right.
Cross-multiply -- 300 * 100 = 250x
30000=250x
3000=25x
120=x. (Meaning that 300 is 120% of 250. Subtract 100%, and your percentage increase is 20%.)

x = 250
y = 300
Increase = y-x = 50
Increase % = 100*50/250
= 20%
Yep, you're right
