\n

A company’s annual profits from different parts of the world in 2015, 2016 and 2017 are £200m, £209m and £195m respectively.

\n

\n

What is the percentage increase in UK profits between 2015 and 2017?

", "advice": "

Use the equation for percentage change:

\n

(New – Old)/Old x 100%

\n

Note that the pie charts are in percentages but the total profit for each year was different, this information is given in the questions but easy to miss.

\n

Use decimals to represent the percentages to make your calculation faster, for example 23% =23/100 = 0.23

\n\n

(New – Old)/Old x 100% = [(0.23 x 195) - 0.21 x 200)]/ (0.21 x 200) x 100% = 6.8%
