A town’s population increased from 25200 to 26460. Find the percent of increase.

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate: (26460-25200)÷25200

Calculate the sum or difference: 1260/25200

Cross out the common factor: 1/20

Multiply a number to both the numerator and the denominator: 1/20 * 5/5

Write as a single fraction: 5/20*5

Calculate the product or quotient: 5/100

Rewrite a fraction with denominator equals 100 to a percentage: 5%

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
