Question

Answer 1

Hello,

The population of a town has increased from 50000 to 60000.
So, increase in population = 60000-50000= 10000.

So, the percentage increase in population will be-

$\frac{increase \: in \: populatiom}{original \: popultation} \times 100$

$\frac{10000}{60000} \times 100$
$= 16.66\%$

Answer 2

The percentage of increasing population is 16.3 percent
