Understanding Percent Increase: 2184 is 9.2% Larger than 2000

[TSN79]

Homework Statement

How much larger than 2000 is 2184 in percent?

2. The attempt at a solution

I'm struggling with understanding what figure should be divided by the other.
If I do 2000/2184*100 I get 91.6, obviously not the right answer. If I do 2184/2000*100 I get 109.2, leading me to think that 9.2 is the correct answer, but still it's not in percent form...

How much LARGER is it. The difference is 184. So the percentage is 184/2000 * 100, which is 9.2%. You were correct.
