Answer 1

Answer:

0.48 %

Explanation:

Last year productivity: packages  delivered / no. of drivers

                                      =103,225/85

                                        =1,214.41

This year productivity : packages delivered /. no. of drivers

                                       =112,260/92

                                        =1,220.22

change is productivity is : this year's productivity - last year's productivity

                                         =1,220.22- 1,214.41

                                           =5.81

percentage change =5.81/1214.41 x 100

                                 =0.48 %
