Question

Between 1924 and 1969 the number of inhabitants of a village increased from 760 to 1026.

Calculate the percentage increase in the number of inhabitants over this period.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The percentage increase is found from ...

% increase = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

= (1026/760 -1) × 100%

= (1.35 -1) × 100% = 0.35 × 100%

% increase = 35%
