(PLEASE SHOW WORK)

Answer 1

a. 60%

b. increase

Explanation:

To find the percentage, you can divide 72 by 45 to get the decimal increase, or 1.6. Percentage rates are decimals, and you can think about this like coloring 60 circles out of 100, representing 60% of 100. Since 72 is higher than 45, this was a percentage increase.
