Answer:

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
