Question

Between 2004 and 2010, the growth rate of the Florida Panther population was approximately 4%. What was the average annual growth rate?

Answer 1

Hello! So in order to find the annual growth rate, we have to divide the percentage by the number of years. 2004 and 2010 poses a gap of 6 years. We would have to set it up as 4/6. When you divide them, you would get 0.666 or 0.67 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The average annual growth rate is about 0.67%.
