When there is an increment in an observed value, the increment implies that there is a growth or percentage increase in the observed value. The percentage increase in participation is 33%:
Given that:
[tex]Initial = 2400[/tex] --- last year
[tex]New= 3200[/tex] --- this year
The percentage increase is calculated as:
[tex]\%Increase = \frac{New - Initial}{Initial} \times 100\%[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\%Increase = \frac{3200 - 2400}{2400} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase = \frac{800}{2400} \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase = 0.3333 \times 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase = 33.33 \%[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]\%Increase = 33 \%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage increase in participation from last year to this year is 33%
