Answer: 15%


Explanation:

1. You can calculate the difference in profit increase by subtracting the profit on march and the profir on april:

£
3162.50-£
2750=£
412.5

2. Now, to calculate the profit percentage of increase you must divide the difference in profit increase by the profit on march (£2750) and multiply by 100, as following:

%
increase=(412.50)/(2750)*100=15%
