Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, we will need to find the difference between the two populations.

6300 - 5600 = 700 people.

Now, divide this increase by the original population:

$\frac{700}{5600} = 0.125$

Multiply this by 100 to get your percent of increase:

0.125 × 100 = 12.5%

7. how many tiles measuring

Margaret [11]

Answer:

245 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 meter = 100 cm

Area of bathroom = 3.5m x 2.8m = 350x280 = 9800 cm²

Area of each tile = 20cm x 20cm = 400 cm²

Total number of tiles required = 9800/400 = 245

Strictly speaking we have to find out how many tiles can be fitted in the length and breadth of the bathroom. Since the bathroom is 350 cm wide, we can fit 350/20cm = 17.5 tiles. However, there is no concept of 1/2 tile so the question has an ambiguity. along the width, we can fit 280/10 = 14 tiles

17.5 x 14 = 245 but if the question is reworded to how many tiles do we need to purchase to floor the bathroom it would be 18 x 14 = 252
