The percent increase in population is: 87%

Further explanation:

The percent change is given by:

$Percent\ increase=\frac{Increase}{Original\ number}*100$

Given

Population before 10 years = 25800 people

Population after 10 years= 48200 people

$Increase=48200-25800=22400\ people$

Putting the values in the formula:

$Percent\ Increase=\frac{22400}{25800}*100\\=0.8682*100\\=86.82\%\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ percent\\87\%$

The percent increase in population is: 87%

Answer:

$3.52 * 10^{13}$ ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 task can be assigned to 1 person, we can start by assigning people to the task. There are 15 different task, so at the first task there are 8 choices, at the 2nd task there are also 8 choices, and so on. There's also the fact that these tasks are all different.

Therefore the total number of way to assign 8 people to 15 tasks is

$8^15 = 3.52 * 10^{13}$ ways
