Answer:

6%

Explanation:

You want the percentage increase from 158,800 to 168,328.

Percentage change

The percentage change is given by the formula ...

percentage change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Application

For the given numbers, this is ...

(168328/158800 -1) × 100%

= (1.06 -1) × 100% = 6% . . . . increase

The annual distance driven increased by 6%.
