You gave the population in 1805. But the problem wants you to compare the 1905 population with the 1895 figure.
Answered by jazz
ooo sorry. so would you do 2120 x 1.15? because you are figuring out 115% of 2120?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. That's correct.

Answered by jazz
and then find the answer and subtract it from 2120?
Answered by jazz
wait... 2438 - 2120?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. The population in 1905 was 2438.

2438 - 2120 = 318.

The population increased by 318 people between 1895 and 1905.
