A scientist grew cells from a tumour and cells from nearby non-tumour tissue in a laboratory. The table shows the number of cells in each sample at the start and after 24 hours.
| Sample | Number of cells at the start | Number of cells after 24 hours |
|---|---|---|
| Tumour | 400 | 1600 |
| Non-tumour tissue | 400 | 800 |
Calculate the percentage increase in the number of tumour cells after 24 hours.
Explain why the number of tumour cells increased more than the number of non-tumour cells.
