Question

Huntsville population grows from 25000 to 28000. what is the percent increase

Answer 1

Answer:

12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Huntsville population grows from 25000 to 28000. We are asked to find percent increase.

We will use percent increase formula to solve our given problem.

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\text{Final}-\text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}\times 100$

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{28000-25000}{25000}\times 100$

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{3000}{25000}\times 100$

$\text{Percent increase}=\frac{3}{25}\times 100$

$\text{Percent increase}=3\times 4$

$\text{Percent increase}=12$

Therefore, the percent increase is 12%.

Answer 2

28000 - 25000 =3000

3000/25000 x 100 = 12%

answer: 12% increase
