    So assume that 16000=100% and 19360 is x%

    %=parts out of 100 so

    100%=100/100

    16000=100%

    since they should be the same

    16000/100=19360/x

    multiply both sides by x/19360 to clear fraction

    16000x/1936000=1

    simplify

    x/121=1

    multiply both sides by 121

    x=121

    19360 is 121%

    the increase is 121-100=21% increase

    the increase is 21%
