Year 2001 = 3640 newspaper
Year 2002 = 4100 newspaper
Required:
To find the percentage increase in newspapers from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002.
Percentage increase from 2000 to 2001.
[tex]\frac{3640-3250}{3250}\times100=\frac{390}{3250}\times100=0.12\times100=12\text{\%}[/tex]Percentage increase from 2001 to 2002.
[tex]\frac{4100-3640}{3640}\times100=\frac{460}{3640}\times100=0.12637\times100=12.637\approx12.6\text{\%}[/tex]Thus, it is clear that 2001 to 2002 has a higher percentage increase.
