a towns population went from 25800 to 42600 in 15 years. what was percent of change.
(42,600/25,800) * 100% = 165.1 %
% Change = 165.1% - 100% =
65% is what i got
% change = (actual change) / (starting value)
so what did u get
what is the actual change? Surely you can figure that much ...
To find the percent change in population, you would need to calculate the difference between the final population and the initial population, and then express that difference as a percentage of the initial population. Here's how you can do that:
Step 1: Find the difference in population:
Final Population - Initial Population = 42,600 - 25,800 = 16,800
Step 2: Calculate the percent change:
Percent Change = (Difference / Initial Population) * 100
Percent Change = (16,800 / 25,800) * 100
Percent Change ≈ 64.94%
Therefore, the percent change in the town's population over the 15 years is approximately 64.94%.
