Answer:

The percent increase in the number of bicycles sold from last year to this year is 13.64%

Explanation:

To do this we have to divide the number of bicycles sold this year by the number of bicycles sold last year

625 / 550 = 25/22

To know how much it is in percentage we have to multiply it by 100

25/22 * 100 = 113.64%

To know the percentage increase we simply have to subtract 100%

113.64% - 100% = 13.64%

the percent increase in the number of bicycles sold from last year to this year is 13.64%
