Describe how to find the rate of increase if the population of a town changes from 47,230 to 55,112 people. then calculate the amount of change.

The rate of change of population is 16.69%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of increase is defined as the ratio of difference of quantity increased by the original quantity multiplied by 100

that is   ...........(1)

To find the rate of increased population of t town from 47,230 to 55,112

Here, original population = 47,230

Increased population = 55,112

Put the values in (1),

(approx)

Thus, the rate of change of population is 16.69%.

there is no question content here, but you for the free points! : d

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
