Question

In the upper right corner of the map, note the projected total wind capacity for each time period. This number represents the total gigawatts (gw) generated by wind energy. Use these values to calculate the percent increase in wind energy for each time period listed in the table. Percent increase is equal to final value - initial value initial value x 100. Round your answers to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

The percent increase in wind energy for each time period listed are 24%, 7% and 17% respectively

How to calculate percent increase

Assume the projected total wind capacity for each time period is

• 2000 - 145 gw
• 2001 - 180 gw
• 2002 - 193 gw
• 2003 - 225 gw

Percent increase from 2000 - 20001 = final value - initial value / initial value x 100

= (180 - 145)/145 × 100

= 35/145 × 100

= 24.1379310344827%

Approximately,

24%

Percent increase from 2001 - 20002 = final value - initial value / initial value x 100

= (193 - 180) ) 180 × 100

= 13/180 × 100

= 7.22222222222222%

Approximately,

7%

percent increase from 2002 - 20003 = final value - initial value / initial value x 100

= (225 - 193) / 193 × 100

= 32/193 × 100

= 16.5803108808290%

Approximately,

17%
