Express as a percentage.

I have a thermodynamics question which I have solved but need to express the gain in a percentage. 3027.8-188.36= 2839.45. How do I express the change from 188.36 to 3027.8 as a percentage.

[latex]\frac{3027.8-188.36}{188.36}\times \frac{100}{1}=\frac{2839.44}{188.36}\times \frac{100}{1}=1507.45\%[/latex]
