if A POPULATION OF 5 MILLION GROWS BY 8 PERCENT IN TOTAL,WHAT IS THE RESULTING POPULATION SIZE? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first thing to do is find 8% of 5 million

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Or find 108% of 5 million, and be done...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whatever floats your boat i hope you know how to do either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 525000 but that's neither of the answer choices :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get for calculating 8% of 5 million

OpenStudy (anonymous):

before you say anything, there is one more step after that^

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[x\% = \frac{x}{100}\] \[108\%*5000000 = \frac{108}{100}*5000000 = \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 4 mill. after calculating .8 of 5 mill.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 0.08 not .8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

400,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add that to 5 million that should be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The closest answer to that is 5,408,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome,thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, btw you remind me of emma watson just saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ha,that is the greatest of compliments,thanks! n_n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am being honest:) You could also have that same charm that would be fantastic
