what does it mean when something has a 165% increase or like a 98% increase/decrease. I just can’t seem to understand it

Percentages represent parts of a whole. 100% is one whole. Did you eat 100% of a pie? You ate one whole pie. So, if something increased by 100%, it means you now have one whole more than you had. Did your amount of one pie increase by 100%? You now have two pies. Do you have 150% more pie? That would be one and a half more than the one pie you started with. Yum!
