Answer:

225%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially it took 8 minutes to get to work

Now, it takes 26 minutes to get to work

We are required to determine the percent increase

Percent increase = (increase ÷ original value) × 100%

In this case;

Increase = 26 min - 8 min

               = 18 min

Therefore;

% increase =(18 min/8 min) × 100%

                   = 225%

Thus, the percent increase is 225%
