Hey ift38375.

Hint: What are the values of profit for 2000 and 2001 as shown in the graph?

Hello Expert, You are talking about which values in Graph.....There are no any values just given only percent.

You can still find ratios with percentages.

How ??

With a percentage increase, you have new_value = old_value*(1+percentage_increase/100).

What will be the values of new_value, old_value and percentage_increase..
can you plz solve this question as per given Graph..

Its better if I don't just give the whole answer, but I'll say that for your problem percentage_increase = 60%

Anyone else who can help me out ................
