Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = (new number - original number) / (original number) * 100

                             = (1200 - 840) / (840) * 100

                             = (360) / 840 * 100

                              = 0.4285 * 100

                              = 42.85% rounded to nearest percent = 43% <==
