the first one will be 3,043,873 from 2000 and the one we end on is 3,733,580 of 2015 ????

Answer 7

Exactly!!

and so do

final - initial
3,733,580 - 3,043,873

and divide that all over that initial value of 3,043,873

and then multiply by 100 so we get the increase as a percentage

689707
?

Answer 11

yes, good so we have

\(\ \text{% increase =} \dfrac{\text{final - initial}}{\text{initial}} \times 100\)

\( \text{% increase =} \dfrac{3,733,580 - 3,043,873}{3,043,873} \times 100 \)

\( \text{% increase =} \dfrac{689,707}{3,043,873} \times 100 \)

so now divide 689707 by 3,043,873

I would keep a few more digits because your final answer wants it in hundredths so 0.2266

and now multiply by 100

Answer 14

22.6600
