Question 73696
Since we're looking at every country but the U.S., we can subtract the U.S. production from the total. So from 1950 to 1997 we get
1950:{{{total-US=10577-8006=41344}}}
1997:{{{total-US=53463-12119=2571}}}
So in 1950 every country but the U.S. produced 2,571 cars and in 1997 they produced 41344. So if we divide these numbers we get
{{{41344/2571=16.0809}}}Now multiply that by 100 to get a percentage
{{{16.0809*100=1608.09}}}So there was a 1608.09% increase in production. 




Now look at Canada: find the percent increase of Canada's production
{{{2571/388=6.6263}}}Now multiply that by 100 to get a percentage
{{{6.6263*100=662.63}}}So there was a 662.63% increase.


Now look at Europe: find the percent increase of Europe's production 
{{{17773/1991=8.9267}}}Now multiply that by 100 to get a percentage
{{{8.9267*100=892.67}}}So there was a 892.67% increase. So Europe had a larger increase in production.
