Increase = 22 -10 = 12
percentage increase = 12/10 times 100 = 120%
percentage increase = increase/original amount x 100

Increase = (22-10)
Percentage increase = (22-10)/10 * 100 %
...............................= (12) * 10 %
...............................= 120 %
Generally:
Percentage Increase
= 100 * (Ending Amount - Initial Amount) / Initial Amount
or
= 100 * (Ending Amount / Initial Amount) - 100
or
... Percentage Increase + 100 = 100 * (Ending Amount / Initial Amount)
or Ending Amount = Initial Amount (Percentage Increase + 100) / 100
