Question

Over the last decade, the population of Merrifield has increased by 110%. If the population was 34,450 a decade ago, which number is closest to the population today?..

Answer 3

110%
---- =----
100 34450

Answer 4

37895? is the population now?

Answer 5

so 110 * 34450 =3,789,500
then u divide that number by 100 which is
3,789,500/100=37,895
Yes that is your answer

Answer 6

Thanks so much!!

Answer 7

34450+ 34450= 68900
100% of 34450 is itself
then u got 10% left over .
34450/10 is 3445
then u add 3445 to 63900
3445+63900=67345
so i think 67345 could be also an answer if the other one is wrong. i think its 67345. thats your answer lol

Answer 8

oh my mbad the answer is 68900+3445
which is 72345

Answer 9

that is surely your answer

Answer 10

i looked at 68900 wrong lol but 72345 is still the right answer
