    Solution

    ATQ, To calculate the percentage change in temperature, you can use the following formula: Percentage Change = [(New Value - Old Value) / Old Value] × 100 In this case: Old Value (initial temperature) = 25 degrees Celsius New Value (final temperature) = 32 degrees Celsius Percentage Change = [(32 - 25) / 25] × 100 Percentage Change = (7 / 25) × 100 Now, calculate the percentage change: Percentage Change = (0.28) × 100 Percentage Change = 28% So, the percentage change in temperature during the summer season is 28%, and it increased by 28%.
