Question 115768: HELP this is my last question before I have to hand this in in an hour, can someone help me on such short notice?? Please??!!
The question states: Use the world population and land area table. Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
What was the percent increase in population in Oceana from 1950 to 2000?
IN 1950 the population in Oceana was 12,000,000 people and in 2000 the total population was 32,000,000. How do I figure out the total increase from thoseyears to the nearest tenth of a percent??? I do not understand how to do this at all. Can someone tell me how it is done? Thank you.

What was the percent increase in population in Oceana from 1950 to 2000?
IN 1950 the population in Oceana was 12,000,000 people and in 2000 the total population was 32,000,000.
--------
Quantity increase = 32000000-12000000 = 20,000,000
-----------
Percent increase 20,000,000/12,000,000 = 1.6666666....
rounded = 166.7%
