Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the percent increase, we need to use the formula: 
percent increase = (amount of increase/original amount) x 100%

Here, the amount of increase is 100 million (200 million - 100 million) and the original amount is 100 million.

Therefore, percent increase = (100 million/100 million) x 100% = 100%.

So, the answer is B) 100%. To find the percent increase in population, we use the formula:

percent increase = (new value - old value) / old value * 100%

Plugging in the values, we get:

percent increase = (200 million - 100 million) / 100 million * 100%
percent increase = 100%
