Question

The population of the US at the first census in 1790 was 3,929 people. By 2000 the population had increased to 284,000,000! What is the percent increase in the population?

Answer 1

7,228,202%

Explanation:

Population at first census in 1979 was 3929

If the Population had increased to 284,000,000 by 2000, the population increase will be;

284,000,000-3929

= 283,996,071

%increase in population = increment/initial population×100%

= 283,996,071/3929×100%

= 7,228,202%

This means that the population has increased by 7,228,202%
