Answer:

25 %

Explanation:

The population has increased from 1000 to 1250 in a small town in USA.

It is asked to calculate the percentage of increase in the population of that place.

Now, the increase in population is given by (final population - initial population) =1250-1000 =250.

Therefore, the percentage increase in the population will be given by (increase in population/ initial population) ×100 %

=(250/1000)×100 %

=25 % (Answer)
