Question

If the percentage increase between 2017 of 9,640,000 and 2018 of 9,960,000 continued in 2018 and 2019 , how many households would be there be in 2019 ? Round to the nearest ten thousand

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine the percentage increase between 2017 and 2018, we need to calculate the difference between the two years and then divide by the 2017 value and multiply by 100. So, the calculation would be:

(9960,000 - 9640,000) / 9640,000 * 100 = 3.125%

So, the number of households increased by 3.125% from 2017 to 2018.

To find the number of households in 2019, we need to find the increase from 2018 to 2019. We can do this by multiplying the number of households in 2018 by the percentage increase, and then add that to the 2018 value. So, the calculation would be:

9960,000 * (3.125 / 100) + 9960,000 = 10,298,800

Therefore, there would be approximately 10,298,800 households in 2019, rounded to the nearest ten thousand.
