<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The population age 12 or under was 3680.

<h2>Why?</h2>

If in 2010 the population of Kignsford was 8000, and by 2014 the population had increased by 15% we need to calculate the total population and then, calculate how many people was age 12 or under.

We must remember that we cannot work with percentage values, so, to make 15% a real number, we need to divide it by 100:

15(Percentage)=\frac{15}{100}=0.15

So,

Calculating the population by 2014, we have:

Population_{2014}=Population_{2010}+ Population_{2010}*0.15

Then, substituting we have:

Population_{2014}=8000+ 8000*0.15=9200

Now, calculating the population that was age 12 or under, knowing that it was 2/5 of the total population, we have:

Population=TotalPopulation*\frac{2}{5}\\\\Population=9200*\frac{2}{5}=3680

So, the population age 12 or under was 3680.

Have a nice day!

If 36 is 25% of the total, what is the total?
Alexandra [31]
Answer:144
Explanation: 25% of the total in other words means that it is 1/4 (a quarter). You could just multiply 36 by 4 to get the total (100%). If u want to verify, just multiply 144 by 0.25 and u should get 36.
