Q
Q: A population of a town increased from 20,000 to 25,000 in a year. What is the percentage increase in the population?
Solution:
Percentage increase = ((25000 - 20000) / 20000) * 100 = (5000 / 20000) * 100 = 25%.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the initial population, which is 20,000.
Step 2: Identify the new population, which is 25,000.
Step 3: Calculate the increase in population by subtracting the initial population from the new population: 25,000 - 20,000 = 5,000.
Step 4: Divide the increase (5,000) by the initial population (20,000): 5,000 / 20,000.
Step 5: Calculate the result of the division: 5,000 / 20,000 = 0.25.
Step 6: Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100: 0.25 * 100 = 25%.
Step 7: The percentage increase in the population is 25%.
