Answer:

13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase is solved as such:

Percent Increase =  %∧ = (\frac{New~Amount~-~Original~Amount}{Original~Amount}) ~*~10

%∧ = (\frac{77~-~68}{68}) ~*~100 = (\frac{9}{68}) ~*~100 = 0.13 * 100 = 13\%

Remember you want to know what percentage the difference is compared to how much your original amount is.

Hope this helps :)
