    119.4% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.

    Explanation:

    2017 2016

    Net sales $276,200 $231,400

    Cost of goods sold $151,900 $129,590

    Operating expenses $55,240 $53,240

    Net earnings $27,820 $19,820

    since we are using 2016 as a base year, the $231,400 in net sales represent 100%, so the trend percentage for 2017 = net sales 2017 / net sales 2016 $276,200 / $231,400 = 1.1936 = 119.4% or a 19.4% increase.

    The base year's amount will always be 100% or 1, and the trend percentages will change relative to that year.
