Here are two slightly different ways to look at it.
Both ways do exactly the same thing.

Way #1:
Divide (the new number) by (the old number)

349 / 320 = 1.090625

Change the quotient 1.090625 to percent.

To change any number into percent, multiply it by 100, or move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

   1.090625 ==> 109.06 %

The new number (349) is 109.06% of the old number (320).

But the old number was 100% of itself. So the new number
is 9.06% more than the old number was.
================================

Way #2:
How much bigger is the new number ?

   (349 - 320) = 29 bigger

Divide the increase by the old number:

   29 / 320 = 0.090625

Change the quotient to a percent.

   0.090625 = 9.06%

The increase is 9.06% of the old number.
