To calculate the **rate of change** in production from last week to this week, you can use the following formula: \[ \text{Rate of Change} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \right) \times 100\% \] **Given:** - **Last week's production (Old Value):** 1,600 units - **This week's production (New Value):** 1,913 units **Calculation:** \[ \text{Rate of Change} = \left( \frac{1,913 - 1,600}{1,600} \right) \times 100\% = \left( \frac{313}{1,600} \right) \times 100\% \approx 19.56\% \] **Rounded to one decimal place:** **19.6%** **Answer:** The production increased by approximately 19.6 % from last week to this week.
