Answer:

0.514%

Explanation:

Productivity is defined as the number of deliveries divided by the number of drivers. Last year's productivity was:

P_L=\frac{103,500}{86}=1203.488

The productivity for the current year was:

P_C=\frac{112,500}{93}=1209.677

The percentage change in productivity (C) over the past two years IS:

C=\frac{P_C-P_L}{P_L}*100\%\\C=\frac{1,209.677-1,203.488}{1,203.488}*100\%\\C=0.514\%

There was 0.514% change in productivity over the past two years.
