Answer:
ok so. Your answer is that the population grew by about 3% (1,722,862 people)
Explanation:
You would just solve 53,594,378 by 55,317,240. You would get a number right around 96.88 so you would round up to 96.9 or 97. From there, you would subtract 100-97 or 100-96.9 to get 3 or 3.1, that is how you know what percentage something grew or shrank by. :) hope this helps you
