Answer 2

12%.

Explanation:

We have been given that Huntsville population grows from 25000 to 28000. We are asked to find percent increase.

We will use percent increase formula to solve our given problem.

`\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\text{Final}-\text{Initial}}{\text{Initial}}* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=(28000-25000)/(25000)* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=(3000)/(25000)* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=(3)/(25)* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=3* 4`

`\text{Percent increase}=12`

Therefore, the percent increase is 12%.
