Answer:

525% increase

Explanation:

The percentage increase formula is:

(new number - old number/old number) × 100

We can now put in our numbers to substitute the variables.

(25000-4000/4000) × 100

=(21000/4000) × 100

=(5.25) × 100

= 525

Therefore, the answer is a 525% increase.

Hope this helps and good luck on your homework!
