Answer:

3,000 is the numerical increase and 15% is the percentage increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's quite easy to see that 3,000 more people were added to 20,000, since 23,000 - 20,000 = 3,000. To find the percentage, simply take 20,000 and divide it by the additional increase number, which is in this case 3,000. 20,000/3,000 = 0.15. Converting decimals to percentages, we take the digits behind the decimal and add the percent sign since 100 is equal to 1 or the whole. So 0.15 = 15%, which is the percent increase.

Answer:

actual amount of increase is 3000

% increase is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual amount of increase is

23,000-20,000= 3,000

To find the percent increase, take the actual amount of increase and divide by the original amount

3,000/20000=.15

Change to percent

15%

Which is the first step in simplifying the expression?
Elenna [48]
\dfrac{3}{2 +  \sqrt{2} }

To rationalise the denominator, this is a standard step:
= \dfrac{3}{2 + \sqrt{2} } \times  \dfrac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2 - \sqrt{2}}

Answer: Option A

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me continue to complete the question, though it is not ask for

= \dfrac{3(2 - \sqrt{2})}{(2 + \sqrt{2)}(2 - \sqrt{2}) }

= \dfrac{3(2 - \sqrt{2})}{4 - 2 }

= \dfrac{6 - 2\sqrt{2}}{2 }
