First you find the difference between the two, which is $13,000.
Then you divide that (the difference) by either one of the premiums, depending on which premium you want to show the percentage of, and it gives the percentage. In your example, $186,625 is 7.49% more than $173,625. And 173, 625 is 6.97% less than 186,625 (if I did my division correctly).

(premium B- premium A)/ premium A*100
subtitute value in this
(186.625-173.625)/186.625*100
13/186.625*100
6.97%

186625-173625=13000
13000/186625=x/100
cross multiply
1300000=186625x
then divide
1300000/186625 186625x/186625
6.95 or 7=x
