    Percent
In summary, a person is writing a work report and is trying to determine the percentage increase between two values. The example given shows that 91% of those who feel part of a community are satisfied, while only 63% of those who do not feel part of a community are satisfied. The difference between these two percentages is 28%, showing that those who feel part of a community are 28% more likely to be satisfied with their experience.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm writing a work report and trying to figure out what % increase there is between one percent and another.

The example I have is; 91% of those those who feel part of a community are satisfied with their overall experience, compared to 63% those who don't feel part of a community are satisfied with their experience.

I'd really like to be able to say those who feel part of a community are x% more likely to be satisfied with their experience, but I'm not sure how to work it out.

Any help and explanation would be great, thank you!

Hi olive99 and welcome to MHB! :D

It's simple subtraction: 91 - 63 = 28, so those who feel part of a community are 28% more likely to be satisfied with their experience.
