Answer #1

Average cost of automobile (1998) = $ 12000 (Original Number)

Average cost of automobile (2008) = $ 16000 (New Number)

Increase = (New number - Original Number)

= $16000-$12000

= $ 4000

Rate of increase = increase/ original number * 100

= $4000/ $12000*100

= 33.33%

*note: time value of money is ignored
