0.48 %

Explanation:

Last year productivity: packages delivered / no. of drivers

=103,225/85

=1,214.41

This year productivity : packages delivered /. no. of drivers

=112,260/92

=1,220.22

change is productivity is : this year's productivity - last year's productivity

=1,220.22 - 1,214.41

=5.81

percentage change = 5.81/1214.41 x 100

=0.48 %
