The population of bristol in 1921 was 367,831.....

Answer 1

The increase in the population was 91469.

New population - Original population

`459300-367831=91469`

Calculate the percentage increase.

Increase in population/Original population × 100

`91469/367831 * 100`

`0.24867126479 * 100`

`=24.87\%`

The percentage increase was 24.9%.

Answer 2

%age Increase = 24.9%

Explanation:

In 1921 = 367,831

In 2017 = 459,300

=> Increase in Population = 91,469

Now Calculating the %age increase:

%age Increase =
`(91469)/(367,831)*100`

%age Increase = 0.249 * 100

%age Increase = 24.9%
