This is a question from Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap (2nd edition): If world energy use increases linearly, use Figure 2.13 to estimate the annual percentage increase for OECD and non-OECD countries from 1990 to 2035 relative to the use in 1990. Here is some information about this figure: 1990 OECD 217 QBtu total 355 QBtu non-OECD 138 QBtu   2035 OECD 293 QBtu total 774 QBtu no-OECD 481 QBtu I also attached the figure: Do I find the overall percent increase and divide it by (2035 - 1990 ) or 45?
