Answer 1

Answer:

There is 160.81 % of increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

$\%=\dfrac{\text{increase}}{\text{original}}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{446-171}{171}\times 100\\\\\%=160.81\%$

So, there is 160.81 % of increase.
