The population of a town increased from 5,600 to 6,300 people. What was the percent of increase?

12.5%

First you need to find how much more the population increased (700 people)

Then you set up for a cross multiply and divide

700/5600 x/100 

the 700 OVER 5600 people in fraction format shows the number of people arrived against the number of people already present

the x OVER 100 are the percentages, x representing what we need to find

The next step would then multiply 700x100 (cross multiply)

Then with the number you found 70,000 you would then divide by 5600 (divide)

Step-by-step explanation:

112.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 6,300 by 5600, you get 1.125, which as a percent is 112.5%.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
