    27.52 percent

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Percentage increase = (new - original) / original * 100

    new = 318270

    old = 249583

    Substitute in what we know

    percentage increase = (318270-249583) / 249583 * 100

    = (68687/249583) * 100

    .275207045*100

    27.5207045 percent
