How to calculate this answer

- 25 ÷ 50 × 100 = 50%
Check: 50 × (1 + (50) ÷ 100) = 75

The gain is 25, which is half of the original 50. Half of the original corresponds to a 50% increase.
What the numbers mean
If an amount grows from 50 to 75 over one period, the percentage growth for that whole period is 50%. It is not automatically an annual growth rate.
A mistake to avoid
Divide the change by the original value. Swapping the values changes the baseline, so the reverse rate is different.
