Question

A town's population went from 25,800 to 42,600 in 15 years . What is the percent in change

Answer 1

Answer:

61%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to find the change in the town's population.

Percentage wise we simply divide 25,800 by 42,600.

$\frac{25800}{42600}= 0.6056$

Now we round.

0.6056 The six rounds the 5 up, which will then round the 0 up.

Our change is 0.61.

Now to find the percentage we move the decimal point over two times to the right.

61% is the percentage of change.
