A Correct answer
Explanation

Percentage increase = ((Current - Previous) / Previous) * 100. Day 2: (544-420)/420 = 29.5%. Day 3: (713-544)/544 = 31.0%. Day 4: (906-713)/713 = 27.0%. Ascending order: 27.0% (Day 4), 29.5% (Day 2), 31.0% (Day 3).

AI explanation

Calculate the percentage increase using the formula increase divided by the original value multiplied by 100. For Day 2 the increase is 124 over 420, about 29.52 percent; for Day 3 it is 169 over 544, about 31.07 percent; and for Day 4 it is 193 over 713, about 27.07 percent. Arranging these in ascending order gives Day 4, Day 2, Day 3. The result is Day 4, Day 2, Day 3.
