# = 8 . 8 2 %# increase.

Explanation:

The initial value #= 850, 000#

The final value #= 925, 000#

The difference # = (925,000 - 850, 000) = 75,000#

The percentage change # = # ( difference in values) / ( initial value) #xx 100#

# = ( 75,000) / ( 8 5 0 , 000 ) xx 100#

# = 8 . 8 2 %# increase. ( rounded to the nearest hundred)
