Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 20%.
Given that
The population increased from 12,500 to 15,000 in a year
According to the question;
The increased population = 15000 - 12500 = 2500
Hence, the percentage increase in population = (2500/12500) × 100 = 20%
