Answer 1

The percent change for centerville is 30% (rounded off to nearest tenth of a percent)

Explanation:

Given details-

Centerville during the year 2000-37,065

Centerville during the year 2010-26,102

Per cent change to the nearest tenth of a percent

total change during the time gap of 10 years= Centerville during 2000- Centerville during 2010

⇒ total change during the time gap of 10 years=37,065-26,102

⇒ total change during the time gap of 10 years=10,963

⇒ per cent change= (total change/Centerville during 2000)*100

⇒ per cent change= (10,963/37,065)*100

⇒ 29.57776%

⇒ 30% (The answer has been rounded)
