Answer 1

19%

Explanation:

First, find how many water bottles were manufactured in March:

4,100 x 1.07 = 4387

Add 500 to the March number

4387 + 500= 4887

Then divide the April number by February

4887/4100= 1.19195

This means that there is a 19 percent increase of water bottles manufactured from February to April
