Question

A town's population increased from 14,523 to 16,489.

Answer 1

Answer:

percent increase=135%

Step-by-step explanation:

if population is increased from 14,523 to 16,489, then we get the increase of 16489-14523=1966

to find the percent increase, we need to use the following formula of percent increase

$Formula \ for \ percent \ increase \ =\frac{actual\ increase}{original\ amount}*100$%

actual increase=1966

original amount=14523

so percent increase is found as

$Formula \ for \ percent \ increase \ =\frac{1966}{14523}*100$%

percent increase=0.1353x100%

percent increase= 135.3%

to round to the nearest percent we get

percent increase=135%
