Answer:

[tex]Factor = 220 \%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial = 2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Final = 5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Required

Determine the factor of increment

First, we calculate the percentage increment

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial} * 100\%[/tex]

Substitute values for Final and Initial

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{5\frac{1}{2} - 2\frac{1}{2}}{2\frac{1}{2}} * 100\%[/tex]

Express fractions as decimals

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{5.5 - 2.5}{2.5} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{3}{2.5} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{3* 100}{2.5} \%[/tex]

[tex]\% Increment = \frac{300}{2.5} \%[/tex]

[tex]\% Increment = 120 \%[/tex]

So, the factor of increment is:

[tex]Factor = 100\% + Increment[/tex]

[tex]Factor = 100\% + 120 \%[/tex]

[tex]Factor = 220 \%[/tex]
