Question 66140: can someone please help me. I don't know what to even do the table i have to use is in the bottom.
What was the percentage increase in motor vehicle production in countries outside the United States from 1950 to 1977?
Between 1950 and 1997, did the production of motor vehicles increase by a greater percentage in Canada or Europe?
The table that i have to use says the following?
World Motor Vehicle Production, 1950–1997
Production (in thousands)

1997 12,119 2,571 17,773 10,975 10,024 53,463

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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
%28Change%2FOriginal+value%29%2A+100
So for the US
%284113%2F8006%29%2A100=51%
Calculate the rest in the same way then use your percentage increases to answer the questions.
