Percent increase from 2000 to 2001 is 12% and from 2001 to 2002 is 12.6%. Thus period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that,

Total circulation of local newspaper in 2000 = 3250

Total circulation of local newspaper in 2001 = 3640

Total circulation of local newspaper in 2002 = 4100

<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2000 to 2001:</u></em>

$\text { Percent increase from } 2000 \text { to } 2001=\frac{\text { change in circulation from 2001 - 2000 }}{\text { circulation in } 2000} \times 100$

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{3640-3250}{3250} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{390}{3250} \times 100=12 \%}\end{array}$

<em><u>Finding percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2001 to 2002:</u></em>

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percent increase from } 2001 \text { to } 2002=\frac{\text { change in circulation }}{\text {circulation in } 2001} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{4100-3640}{3640} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{460}{3640} \times 100=12.6 \%}\end{array}$

As we can see 12% < 12.6%

So period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.

We can find out he answer to the question by using the information given.
Since we know that Death Valley is the lower of the two spots, we can assume that we can add the difference in elevation to Death Valley to get the elevation of Mt Whitney.
-86+4,504=4,418
Th elevation of Mt Whitney is 4,418 meters above ground.
Hope this helps!
