Answer:
As per the statement:
If there were 300 accidents in 1967 and 380 in 1968.
Number of accident in 1967= 300
Number of accident in 1968= 380
then;
Increase in accident = 380-300 = 80
Using formula to find the percent increase:
[tex]\text{Increase in percent} = \frac{\text{Increase in accident}}{\text{Number of accident in 1967}} \times 100[/tex]
Substitute the given values we have;
[tex]\text{Increase in percent} = \frac{80}{300} \times 100[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\text{Increase in percent} = \frac{80}{3} = 26\frac{2}{3} \%[/tex]
Therefore, [tex] 26\frac{2}{3} \%[/tex] is the percent increase
