The tools that were used by ancient mathematicians to make geometric constructions are compasses and straightedges. A compass is a drawing instrument used to draw circles and arcs. The straightedges on the other hand is a tool to check on the accuracy of a straight line.
First find the amount of increase: 380-300=80. Then divide the amount of increase by the original amount: 80/300=.266666667. Normally you round to the tenths place: .27. Then make it a percent: .27=27%. The percent of increase is 27% :) hope this helps
