The increase:

$5,800,000 - $5,000,000 = $800,000

The percent of increase:

800,000 x 100 : 5,000,000 = 16%

Answer:

A) 16%

Liliana Davenport · Answer 2

Percentage increase = (increase) x 100 / original

Percentage increase = (5,800,000 - 5,000,000) x 100 / (5,000,000)

Percentage increase = 16%
