new average = 200% more than 2000 = 4000+2000=6000
now from 2k5-2k8 = 4*12*6000
for 2k5 = 12*2000=24000
thus, 24000( 4*3-1) = 264000.

sorry for the above post.It was for a different question.
sum for 2k5 = 60 for 2k8 = 72
change is 12
thus 12/60*100 = 20%
sum for 2k5 = 60 for 2k8 = 72
change is 12
thus 12/60*100 = 20%
