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%

Here is a little tip for this: The unit above cancels the unit below. So in this problem you are asked to convert pounds to ounce. So your equation will look like this. 

ounce = 2.93 pounds ( \frac{16 ounces}{1 pounds} ) = 46.88
Your ratio should involve the conversion factor. So 16 and 1 is involved canceling A and D. Then, Notice that you started with poubls. Then the ratio must have pounds at the bottom to cancel the units leaving ounces.
