    The increase:

    $5,800,000 - $5,000,000 = $800,000

    The percent of increase:

    800,000 x 100 : 5,000,000 = 16%

    Answer:

    A) 16%

    Percentage increase = (increase) x 100 / original

    Percentage increase = (5,800,000 - 5,000,000) x 100 / (5,000,000)

    Percentage increase = 16%
