3. In 1810, the U.S. land size was 1.68 square miles (in millions). In 1850, it was up to 2.94 square miles (in millions). What was the percent increase?

Answer 1

39,055

Explanation:

so you say 6 over 100 multiplied by $36,500 over 1. then 100 into 36,500 then you get 365. then you say 6 multiplied by 365 and you get 2,555. then you say 2,555 plus 36,500 then you get 39,055
