Michael is part of a team assessing the infrastructure requirements of the small town of Manana. In 10 years, the population of the city is expected to increase from 11,575 people to 13,200. Find the percent increase in the population.
To find the percent increase in population, you need to find the difference between the final population and the initial population, and then divide that by the initial population and multiply by 100.
The difference in population is 13,200 - 11,575 = 1,625
The percent increase is (1,625 / 11,575) * 100 = 14.02%
Therefore, the percent increase in population is approximately 14.02%.
