8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Motivation to learn represents a 40% of the learning acquired and its rated from 1 to 10. An increase from 7 to 9 represents an increase (of motivation to learn of 20%) But since this quality represent 40% of the total, the real increase in learning is 0.2*0.4=0.08 or 8%.
