The total U. S. apple production increased during the 1973-1988 period from 6.2 to 9.l billion pounds. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what was the percent of increase in apple production in the United States from 1973-1988? pl help

Subtract to find the difference in the amounts:

9.1 - 6.2 = 2.9

Divide the change by the starting amount:

2.9/6.2 = 0.46774

Multiply by 100 to get the percentage and round to the nearest tenth:

0.46774 x 100 = 46.8 %

46.8%
