Answer 2

Hello!

The formula for percentage change is:

(New number - Original number) / Original number × 100 = Percentage change

(3640-3250)/3250 x 100 =

(390)/3250 x 100 =

.12 x 100 = 12%

(4100-3640)/3640 x 100 =

(460)/3640 x 100 =

.1263736264 x 100 = ~ 12.6%

2001 to 2002 had a higher percent of increase.

Hope I helped!!
