July 1, 2007?

Answer 1

2.92%

3.85%

Explanation:

The population in 2000 is 282,194,308. The population in 2003 is 290,447,644. This is an increase of 8,253,336.

290,447,644 - 282,194,308 = 8,253,336

To find the percentage in increase, divide the difference by the original number and multiply by 100%. The population increased by 2.92%.

8,253,336/282,194,308 = 0.0292 × 100% = 2.92%

The population in 2003 is 290,447,644. The population in 2007 is 301,621,157. This is an increase of 11,173,513.

301,621,157 - 290,447,644 = 11,173,513

Divide the difference by the original number and multiply by 100%. The population increased by 3.85%.

11,173,513/290,447,644 = 0.0385 × 100% = 3.85%
