Answer 1

=110.8 percent

Explanation:

We can use this formula to find the percent increase

percent increase = (new - original)/ original * 100

new = 363,844,490

original =172,602,624

Substitute these values in

percent increase = (363,844,490 - 172,602,624)/ 172,602,624 * 100

percent increase = 191241866/172602624 *100

= 1.107989332

=110.8 percent
