Answer:

164%

Explanation:

Follow this formula:

Percent Increase = (New Value - Old Value / Old value) * 100

The old value is last year, the new value is this year, input as followed:

Percent Increase = (7,260 - 2,750 / 2,750) * 100

Percent Increase = (4,510/2,750) * 100

Percent Increase = 164%

The percent increase in the average amount is 164%
