per cent increase in population.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

population of town in 1995= 16,00,000

population of town in 2002 =21,00,000

increase in population = (population in 2002)-(population in 1995) =21,00,000-16,00,000=5,00,000

percentage increase =increase/original value ×100

=5,00,000/16,00,000 ×100

=31.25%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1995=

16,00,000

2002=

21,00,000

= ( 2002) - ( 1995)

= 21,00,000 - 16,00,000 = 5,00,000 = / ×100

= 5,00,000/ 16,00,000×100 = 31.25%

= 31.25%
