Answer:

22.97

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial temperature = 74°

After some time, the new temperature = 91°

We need to find the percent increase in the temperature.

The formula for the percentage increase is given by :


\%=\frac{|\text{final value-initial value}|}{\text{initial value}}* 100\\\\=(91-74)/(74)*100\\\\=22.97\%

So, the increase in temperature is 22.97%.
