What was the percentage increase in exhibitor rental revenue from 2024 to 2025?

• A. 34.9%
• B. 18.0%
• C. 5%
• D. 10.8%

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how to measure growth from one year to the next. You find the increase by subtracting the 2024 value from the 2025 value, then divide that difference by the 2024 value, and finally multiply by 100 to get a percentage: (2025 − 2024) ÷ 2024 × 100%.

In this case, that calculation yields 0.108 as the decimal, which is 10.8%. That means the exhibitor rental revenue in 2025 is 1.108 times the 2024 amount, i.e., it grew by 10.8%. For intuition, if the 2024 figure were 100, the 2025 figure would be 110.8, a 10.8 increase.

Plug in the actual numbers from the chart with the same method and you’ll see it matches 10.8%.
