Answer 1

There is 160.81 % of increase.

Given that,

The average size of a privately owned farm in a particular country was 171 acres.

Now, the average size of a privately owned farm in the country had increased to 446 acres.

We need to find the percent increase.

`\%=\frac{\text{increase}}{\text{original}}* 100\\\\\%=(446-171)/(171)* 100\\\\\%=160.81\%`

So, there is 160.81 % of increase.
