Question

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hispanic population of the United States increased by 15.2 million between 2000 and 2010. Between 2000 and 2010, the U.S. Hispanic population grew by 43 percent. What was the U.S. Hispanic population in 2000?

Answer 1

7.1

Answer 2

That shouldn't be right. Let Po be the population in 2000. Then:
Po + 0.43Po = Po + 15.2
0.43Po = 15.2
Po = 35 millions, approximately.
Which corresponds to the US Census of 2010 (50.5 million of Hispanic people living in the US)
