if we take 115 to be the 100%, how much is 266 off of it then?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 115&100\\ 266&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{115}{266}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{266\cdot 100}{115} \\\\\\ p\approx 231.3[/tex]

so 266 is about 231% of 115, which is 131% more than 115.
