Answer 1

Percentage increase= 125%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

2018= 200 dogs

2019= 450 dogs

To calculate the percentage increase, we need to use the following formula:

Percentage increase= [(2019 - 2018)/2018]*100

Percentage increase= [(450 - 200)/200]*100

Percentage increase= 125%
