Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 23.08%

Percentage increase of US population from 2010 to 2020 = (80−6565)×100\left ( \frac{80-65}{65} \right )\times 100

Percentage increase of US population from 2010 to 2020 = (1565)×100\left ( \frac{15}{65} \right )\times 100 

Percentage increase of US population from 2010 to 2020 = 23.08% (approximately)
