    To find the percent increase, you will first find the difference in price for the peak season economy and the regular economy price.

    $526.3-$440.8=$85.50

    Then divide the difference by the beginning price (economy).

    85.50/440.8 = 0.19

    The percent increase is approximately 19%.
