Increase = 380 - 300 = 80
% Increase = 80/300 × 100%
= 26.7 %

Answer:

26.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the percent increase in number of accidents from 1967 to 1968.

[tex]\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\text{Final }-\text{ Original}}{\text{Original}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent increase}=\frac{380-300}{300}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent increase}=\frac{80}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent increase}=26.6666\%[/tex]

[tex]\text{Percent increase}=26.67\%[/tex]

Therefore, the percent increase in number of accidents is 26.67%.
