Answer:

1.03 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole numbers are in millions. We can adjust it when we are done.

58 * x/100 = 60                      Multiply by 100

58*x = 60 * 100

58*x = 6000                           Divide by 58

x = 6000/58

x = 103

Now what exactly do we have. Did it increase by 103 %? Surely it couldn't.

Remember in the equation The % is divided by 100

103/100 = 1.03% And that's the answer.
