    11%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Percentage increase = (New average - previous average) / previous average x 100

    New average: 1554

    Previous average: 1400

    Percentage increase = (1554-1400) / 1400 x 100

    Percentage increase = 154/1400 x 100

    Percentage increase = 0.11 x 100

    Percentage increase = 11%

    Therefore, the average increased by 11%.
