To calculate the percentage increase, we need to follow these steps:
A. Calculate the percentage increase in the number of individual awards given from 1996-1997:
1. Find the difference between the number of individual awards given in 1997 and 1996:
Difference = Number of individual awards in 1997 - Number of individual awards in 1996
= 1764 - 935
= 829
2. Calculate the percentage increase by dividing the difference by the initial value and multiplying by 100:
Percentage increase = (Difference / Initial value) * 100
= (829 / 935) * 100
= 88.67%
Therefore, the percentage increase in the number of individual awards given from 1996 to 1997 is approximately 88.67%.
B. To identify the year that shows the greatest percentage increase in the number of company awards:
1. Calculate the percentage increase for each year compared to the previous year.
Year 1997: Percentage increase = ((40 - 32) / 32) * 100
Year 1998: Percentage increase = ((52 - 40) / 40) * 100
Year 1999: Percentage increase = ((63 - 52) / 52) * 100
2. Determine the year with the highest percentage increase.
Year 1997: ((40 - 32) / 32) * 100 = 25%
Year 1998: ((52 - 40) / 40) * 100 = 30%
Year 1999: ((63 - 52) / 52) * 100 = 21.15%
Based on these calculations, the year 1998 shows the greatest percentage increase (30%) in the number of company awards compared to the previous year.
