Question

The population in the South in 2000 was 100,236,820. In 2010, the population in the South had increased by 14.3% from 2000. About many people lived in the South in 2010?

Answer 1

Because it says "increased by," you need to add 100% to 14.3% to get 114.3% and then multiply 114.3% by the 2000 population to get the answer.
