To get the percent of increase, we will follow these steps:

1 - get the difference between the two numbers:

difference = 1.8 - 1.2 = 0.6

2 - divide the difference from step one by the original number (the number before the increase) and then multiply the quotient by 100 to get the percent as follows:

% of increase = (0.6 / 1.2) * 100 = 50%

Based on the above calculations, the percent of increase in the amount of iron is 50%
