Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage increase in population​ = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The population of a town has increased from 20000 to 25000 in a year

To find,

The increase in the percentage

Recall the formula

Increase in percentage = $\frac{change \ in \ the \ value }{original \ value} X100$

Solution:

Since the population of a town has increased from 20000 to 25000 in a year, then the increase in the population = 25000 - 20000 = 5000

Original value = 20000

∴Percentage increase = $\frac{5000}{20000} X100$ = 25%

Hence, the percentage increase in population​ = 25%
