Answer:

The percentage of increase is 37%

Explanation:

The way to find the percentage of increase is to divide The difference between the two numbers by the number before the increase

7.8 - 5.7 = 2.1

The difference between 7.8 and 5.7 is 2.1

So now we divided 2.1 by the number before the increase, in this case, 5.7

2.1 รท 5.7 = 0.3684

0.3684 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.37

Thus the percentage of increase is 37%
