The population of a town in utah in 1997 was 7500. after two years, the population of this town was 115% as much as the population recorded in 1997. what is the population of the town after two years?
a. 8425
b. 8500
c. 8625
d. 8750

C, 8625

Step-by-step explanation:

The towns population was increased by 115%, so we have to get how much 15% of 7500 is.

15% x 7500 = 1125

We then add these two (1125, 7500) to get 8625.

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 : )
