Answer:

75% increase

Explanation:

First we need to figure out how many new records she got this year...

7-4 = 3 new records.

Now, we need to know how many times 4 goes into 100%....

100 ÷ 4 = 25%

This tells us that a single record this year is a 25% increase.

Now, we multiply 25% by 3 to get 75% as our final answer

Hope this Helps!!! :)

Let me know if I should change anything or if the answer was perfect!
