To find the percentage change in population, we can use the formula:
Percentage Change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100
Given that the old value (population in 2010) is 12,979 people and the new value (population in 2020) is 18,560 people, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Percentage Change = ((18,560 - 12,979) / 12,979) * 100
Calculating this expression:
Percentage Change = (5591 / 12,979) * 100
Percentage Change ≈ 0.4302 * 100
Percentage Change ≈ 43.02
Therefore, the percentage change in population from 2010 to 2020 is approximately 43%.
The population of time a was 12,979 people in 2010 when measured again in 2020 the population was 18,560 what was the percentage of change in population to the nearest whole percentage point
