By inspecting the departures for all the countries in the table, China by far has the greatest increase in percentage of total number of departures. While no other country has even doubled its departure percentage, China has nearly quadrupled its percentage. Once you notice that, you need to remember the percentage change formula:
x present-x past/x past
Then you can just plug in 2.0 for Xpast and 7.7 for Xpresent and find the correct answer: 285.
