    The percentage increase is 35.93%

    Explanation:

    To find a percentage increase, we first have to evaluate the absolute difference involved. Let's check the two values:

    Peak Season Tourist Class Ship Fare : $470.25

    30-Day Excursion Ship Fare : $345.95

    Absolute difference is: $470.25 - $345.95 = $124.30

    Now, the question is about percentage increase ... so we have to divide this absolute difference by the lowest fare ($345.95):

    %Diff = $124.30 / $345.95 = 0.3593

    The percentage increase is then 35.93%
