Question

In May, there were 157 people living in Kristin's neighborhood. By August, the population had increased 21%. How many people were in Kristin's neighborhood by August?
A.330
B.190
C.33
D.1900

Answer 1

It’s B because 21% of 157 is 32.97 which then you would then add with the 157 people already there and get 189.97 and since you cannot have .97 of a person you round it up to 190
