Question

There were 935 offenses in 2000 and 2448 offenses in 2019. What is the percentage increase?

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 262%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase divide the new amount of offenses by the old amount of offenses:

2448/935 = 2.618

2.618 rounds to 2.62. Convert 2.62 into a percentage: 262%

The percentage increase between the amount of offenses in 2000 and the amount of offenses in 2019 is approximately 262%.
