Answer 2

Answer:

Option C: Percentage change = 48% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 46 to 68

Subtracting 46 from 68:

46 - 68 =  22  [positive value indicates that, there is a increase]

Percentage change $=\frac{New Number - Original Number}{Original Number} times 100$% $= \frac{22}{46} . 100$%

= 47.83% increase = 48% increase  [rounded to the nearest whole]

Option C: 48% increase.
