increase expenditure = $ 200 .

____________________________________

% change =

$\% \: change \: = \frac{(incresed \: expenditure)}{(total \: expenditure)}$

$\% \: change \: = \: \frac{200}{3400} \times 100$

$\% \: change \: = \frac{100}{17} \%$

$\% \: change \: = 5.88 \: \%$

Answer 2

Answer :

Change % = 200/3400 * 100

Change % = 200/34

Change % = 100/17

Change % = 5.88%
