Answer:

  6%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the percentage increase from 158,800 to 168,328.

Percentage change

The percentage change is given by the formula ...

  percentage change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Application

For the given numbers, this is ...

  (168328/158800 -1) × 100%

  = (1.06 -1) × 100% = 6% . . . . increase

The annual distance driven increased by 6%.
