Question

The population of a town increased from 3450 in 2006 to 4650 in 2011. Find the absolute and relative (percent) increase.

Answer 1

Answer:

15% increase per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

5,600 - 3,500 = 2,100

2,100 is what percent of 3,500?

2,100 = X*3,500

X =  2,100 / 3,500

X = .60 or 60%

An average of 15% increase per year.
