    Answer: 38%

    Explanation:

    The percentage increase will be change in concentration of C02/Initial concentration of C02 * 100%

    Change in concentration = final concentration - initial concentration = 383ppm - 278ppm

    = 105ppm

    Initial concentration = 278ppm

    % increase = 105/278 * 100%

    %increase = 37.8% approximately 38%

    The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide increased from 278 ppm in 1790 to 383 ppm in 2007. The amount by which atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide increased would be

    383 - 278 = 105 ppm

    The percent increase in carbon dioxide concentration from 1790 to 2007 would be

    Increase/initial concentration * 100

    It becomes

    105/278 * 100 = 37.77%

    The approximate percent increase would be 38% rounded up to the nearest whole number
