You are only interested in the change from 1950 to 1997. That means that you can ignore most of your table.
Year United States Canada Europe Japan Other World Total
1997 12,119 2,571 17,773 10,975 10,024 53,463
1950 8,006 388 1,991 32 160 10,577
Change 4,113 2,183 15,782 10943 9,864 42,886
To find the percentage increase use

So for the US
%
Calculate the rest in the same way then use your percentage increases to answer the questions.
