As usual in data interpretation problems, break up each part of the sentence and then the solution will usually come (not that this problem is difficult or anything, but that will help you in harder problems).
First, look only at the top graph, the bottom graph is irrelevant. Then, find out the number of defensive scouts (DS) in 2006.
# ds 2006: 75
# ds 2007: 100
To get percent increase, always start with bigger number, to get percent decrease, always start with smaller number. Then, you always divide by the second number.
percent increase = (100-75)/75 = 33.33%
