Answer:

25% increase

Explanation:

A percentage change is calculated using the formula ...

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

= (500 -400)/400 × 100%

= 100/400 × 100%

= 25%

A positive percentage change indicates an increase.

The change from 400 to 500 is a 25% increase.
