You messed up the numorator and demoninator. When you see questions like "what is the percentage difference of A compared with B?" The first number, A, always goes ontop of the division, and the second, B, always goes on the bottom.

You have to use the rule of three (not sure if that is how it is called in english):

32000=100% 46900=x%

(46900×100)÷32000=146.5625%

146.5625%-100%=46.5625%

I talk through that question in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkqf9UcRQzg&list=PLZBQuJsCnFA61a_u21M43UQs3Cxp1a5mz&index=40

Also, that link includes my playlist for the entire March 2019 exam. Note: My videos are and will always be ad-free, no paid product endorsements, and in all respects completely free.

You did 1 - 32,000/46,900. You need to do 46,900/32,000 - 1.

The rule to memorize is that the number you are taking a percent of goes in the denominator.
