Answer 2

we know that

`86` books represent the
`100`%

Find the percentage of
`150` books

by proportion

`(86)/(100)(books)/(percentage) =(150)/(x) (books)/(percentage) \\\\ 86*x=150*100`

`x= 174.42`%

Find the percentage increase

Percentage increase=
`174.42-100=74.42`%

therefore

the answer is

The percentage increase is
`74.42`%
