The population of a village increased from 20,000 to 23,000 in a year.
What is the percentage increase?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Initial Population = 20,000
New Population = 23,000
Percentage Increase = (Increase / Initial) × 100
Increase = 23,000 − 20,000 = 3,000
Percentage Increase = (3,000 / 20,000) × 100 = 15%
