D) 700%
E) 7000%

Answer 1

The percent increase in the number of events in the Winter Olympics from 1932 to 2014 was 600%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent increase, we need to find the difference between the number of events in 2014 and 1932, and then divide that difference by the number of events in 1932. Finally, we multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Number of events in 2014: 98

Number of events in 1932: 14

Percent increase = ((98 - 14) / 14) * 100 = 600%

Therefore, the percent increase in the number of events in the Winter Olympics from 1932 to 2014 was 600%.
