Answer:

The percentage increase of the area of the building space is 33%.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Original area of company = 17,000 square feet

Expanded area of company = 22,610 square feet

We have to calculate the percentage increase of the area of the building space.

Increase percentage =

$=\frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original}}* 100\%$

Putting values, we get,

$=(22610-17000)/(17000)* 100\%\\\\=(5610)/(17000)* 100\%\\\\=33\%$

Thus, the percentage increase of the area of the building space is 33%.
