Question

A heard of elk increased from 75 in 1998 to 310 in 2005. Find the annual percent of increase for this heard.

Answer 1

`313.3333\%`

Explanation:

Based on given conditions, formulate:

`(310 - 75)/(75)`

Calculate the sum:

`(253)/(75)`

Simplify it:

`(47)/(15)`

Convert that to a decimal:

`3.133333`

Multiply that:

`3.133333 * (100)/(100)`

Calculate that:

`(3.133333 * 100)/(100)`

Convert that:

`313.3333\%`
