Question

The population of Peru is 10,904 and the population of Franklin is 25,248. Complete the following sentence below with a correct relative change calculation.

Answer 1

Answer: 132%

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative change will be calculated as follows:

Population of Peru = 10,904

Population of Franklin = 25,248

Relative change = (New value - Old value / Old value ) × 100.

= (25248 - 10904) / 10904 × 100

= 14344/10904 × 100

= 131.55% = 132%

Therefore, the population of Franklin is about 132% more than the population of Peru
