Question

The population of a town increased from
1,75,000 to 3,00,000. Find the increase per cent
in the population
​

Answer 1

Answer:

71.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

increased percentage = (increase/original) * 100

therefore increase = 3,00,000 - 1,75,000

                               = 1,25,000

therefore using the formula = (125000/175000) * 100

                                              = 500/7

                                              = 71.4%
