Answer 1

The percentage change in banana consumption is approximately 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage change in banana consumption, we can use the formula: ((new amount - old amount) / old amount) x 100. In this case, the old amount of banana consumption is 30,000 and the new amount is 35,000.

Using the formula: ((35,000 - 30,000) / 30,000) x 100 = 16.67%

So, the percentage change in banana consumption is approximately 16.67%.
