In 2000, the circulation of a local newspaper was 3,250. In 2001, its circulation was 3,640. In 2002, the circulation was 4,100. A-Find the percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002.
B-Which period had a higher percent of increase, 2000 to 2001, or 2001 to 2002?

Percent increase from 2000 to 2001 is 12% and from 2001 to 2002 is 12.6%. Thus period of 2001 to 2002 has higher increase percentage.
