First, the profit in 2007 was 1052 - 749 = 303.
If costs remain constant, they will remain at 749.
If revenues increase by 10%, they will jump from 1052 to 1052*1.1 = 1157.2.
The profit in 2008, then, will be 1157.2 = 749 = 408.2.
408.2 = \(\frac{408.2}{303} \approx 1.347\) times greater than 303, or an increase of 34.7%.
