What was the population in 1895?
2120, right? r u asking me that or r u wondering?? :S
You gave the population in 1805. But the problem wants you to compare the 1905 population with the 1895 figure.
ooo sorry. so would you do 2120 x 1.15? because you are figuring out 115% of 2120?
Yes. That's correct.
and then find the answer and subtract it from 2120?
wait... 2438 - 2120?
Yes. The population in 1905 was 2438.
2438 - 2120 = 318.
The population increased by 318 people between 1895 and 1905.
2438 - 2120 = 318.
The population increased by 318 people between 1895 and 1905.
ok thanks!
