A Math Problem Question

[Jodi1980]

How can I figure out what percent something went up from 69,700 to 71,170? Thanks!

(71170-69700)/69700=2.1%

I've been out of school too long. LOL!!! I thought I knew but when I went to figure it out I kept coming up with the opposite answer....97.9. I knew that wasn't right
