8)Between 1950 and 1997, did the production of motor vehicles increase by a greater percentage in Canada and Europe?
Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated. Please show me how you did this so I can understand how to do this. Thanks. This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

Use the following formula to find the % of increase

Values are rounded!!!

USA

Canada

Europe

Japan

Other

So ... if you want to see the World as compared to the USA ... use the following:
((World 1997 - USA 1997)-(World 1950 - USA 1950))/(World 1950 - USA 1950) * 100

So outside the USA, production increased 1508% between 1950 and 1997
And when comparing Canada and Europe ... Europes % of increase is higher.
