Question

In 2000, the population of a town was 19,500 people. in 2010, the population of the same town was 28000. Find the percent of change in population from 2000 to 2010. Thanks :)

Answer 1

Explanation:

percent change = (new value - old value) / old value x 100%

Where the old value is the population in 2000 and the new value is the population in 2010.

percent change = (28000 - 19500) / 19500 x 100%

percent change = 8500 / 19500 x 100%

percent change = 0.435 x 100%

percent change = 43.5%

Therefore, the percent of change in population from 2000 to 2010 is 43.5%.
