To calculate the percentage increase, you need to find the difference between the two numbers (the increase) and divide it by the original number, then multiply by 100.
Step 1: Find the difference (increase)
8505 - 6300 = 2205
Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number
2205 / 6300 = 0.35
Step 3: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage
0.35 * 100 = 35%
Therefore, the percentage increase from 6300 to 8505 is 35%.
