The percentage in increase can be calculated as follows:
% of increase = (difference between new and old amounts / old value) *100

For Dario:
difference in values = 413 - 350 = 63
% of increase = (63/350)*100 = 18%

For Monica:
difference in values = 270 - 225 = 45
% of increase = 20%

Therefore,
Monica has higher percent of increase.
The difference in percents = 20% - 18% = 2%
