Increased by 200%

A number at 1st = 100%
When increased by 200%, the number will be 300%

Now, number is v
When increased by 200% = 3v

(3v-v)/v × 100% = 200% increased.

Just imagine a number ..
Example 2 when increased by 200% = 6
Calculation= (6-2)/2 × 100% = 200%
Therefore, increased by 200 % = ×3

At 1st = e
After = 9e

To calculate for % change
= (9e-e)/e × 100%

Also beware of

Increased by & increased to.

Example
2 increased by 200% = 6
2 increased to 200% = 4

Calculation
2 increased by 200% = 6
2 × 300% = 6
Mean change from 100% to 300%

2 increased to 200% = 4
2 × 200% = 4
Change from 100% to 200%

Be careful of word BY and TO
