Why you did subtraction directly we can do 145/108*100 na?

Applying % increase formula because we have to compare batteries from 1992 to 1998.
So actual increase i.e 37/original quantity*100.
i.e.
145-108/108*100 = 34%.
So actual increase i.e 37/original quantity*100.
i.e.
145-108/108*100 = 34%.

It is to be divide by 108 because it is the base year.

We are dividing by 108 because the question says compared to 1992 for 55Ah.

Here the formula is[(final value-initial value)/initial value ]*100.
Here we take the initial value as 145 and the final value as 108.
Here we take the initial value as 145 and the final value as 108.
