Here's how you approach these types of problems.
You first change the numbers.
The population of California is projected to grow from 3 in 2005 to 6 2010. What is Califorjias projected population increase over this time period.
Looks to ME like a 100% increase.
How did you get it?
Probably by (6-3)/3
let's do another
The population of California is projected to grow from 8 in 2005 to 10 2010. What is Califorjias projected population increase over this time period. Look list a 25% increase to ME.
(10 - 8) ./ 8
Now, go solve YOUR problem and leave me alone. :) :)
always,
tony.
