The population of time a was 12,979 people in 2010 when measured again in 2020 the population was 18,560 what was the percentage of change in population to the nearest whole percentage point
To find the percentage change in population, we can use the formula:
Percentage Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100
Given that the old value (population in 2010) is 12,979 people and the new value (population in 2020) is 18,560 people, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Percentage Change = ((18,560 - 12,979) / 12,979) * 100
Calculating this expression:
Percentage Change = (5591 / 12,979) * 100
Percentage Change ≈ 0.4302 * 100
Percentage Change ≈ 43.02
Therefore, the percentage change in population from 2010 to 2020 is approximately 43%.
