Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Howard's answer is completely wrong at least the way I completed the problem. When you want to calculate the percentage of a number in any case you multiply. Instead of multiplying 140 by 40 percent you multiply it by 0.4 (140*0.4) which will give you 56 which is the correct answer and is 40 percent of 140.

\frac{P(2010)-P(2000)}{2010-2000}

P(2010) represents the population in the year 2010 and P(2000) represents the population in the year 2000 .

Substituting the values, we will get
