Documenting the Strategy for Percent Increase in Fees

As part of the onboarding process for new student assistants in the college registrar's office, you have been asked to write a short guide explaining the standard problem-solving strategy used to calculate fee increases. Using the example of a unit fee that rises from $26 to $36, describe the steps of this strategy. Your response should outline the sequence from the initial identification of the goal to the final verification, specifically detailing how to calculate the increase amount, how to set up the translation equation, and the rules for rounding the final percentage.
