Default How to resize plans

I have some foamie plans I want to resize and print out on my printer. How would I go about finding the percentage I need to increase the size of the plane? Say at 100% the plane has a 32" wingspan how would I figure out the percentage to make it 36" or 38" or bigger wingspan??

Divide the new size by the original size and multiply by 100 to get precent.

In your example 38 divided by 32 x 100=118.75%
