One year, the population of a city was 102,000. Several years later it was 110,160. Find the percent increase.
To find the percent increase, we will use the formula:
Percent Increase = ((Final Population - Initial Population) / Initial Population) * 100
Plugging in the numbers:
Percent Increase = ((110,160 - 102,000) / 102,000) * 100
Percent Increase = (8,160 / 102,000) * 100
Percent Increase = 0.08 * 100
Percent Increase = 8%
Therefore, the population of the city increased by 8%.
