Answer:
The percentage increase of the area of the building space is 33%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Original area of company = 17,000 square feet
Expanded area of company = 22,610 square feet
We have to calculate the percentage increase of the area of the building space.
Increase percentage =
[tex]=\dfrac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original}}\times 100\%[/tex]
Putting values, we get,
[tex]=\dfrac{22610-17000}{17000}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{5610}{17000}\times 100\%\\\\=33\%[/tex]
Thus, the percentage increase of the area of the building space is 33%.
