Answer: $171.4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Time is extended from 28 days to 76 days

The percentage increase is given by

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{New-original value}}{\text{original value}}\times 100$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{76-28}{28}\times 100=\dfrac{48}{28}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 171.4\%$

Thus, the percentage increase in time is $171.4\%$
