% Increase = (Amount of increase * 100)/(Original amount)
Increase = 39.37 - 36 = 3.37
% increase = 3.37 * 100/36
= 337/36
= 9.36111111111 ... %
= 9.36 % (approximately)

Its simple arithmetic.
How much larger (as a percent of 36 inches) is 39.37 inches?
So (39.37 - 36) / 36 = .0936. To express as a percent move the decimal 2 places to the right, so its 9.36% larger.

100 - 91.44 = 8.56
There is an 8.56% increase from a yard to a meter.
Hope this helps.
