Question 181680: -In the year 2000, the population of NV was 1, 998, 257. What was the approximate percent of increase from 2000 to 2005? Use the population data from question 8.
i solved question eight but question eight is:
The state of Nevada has an area of 286,367 square kilometers. In 2005, Nevada had an estimated population of 2,414,807 people. Approximately how many people per square kilometer is this?
2414807 / 286367 people/km2
8.43, or about 8 people/km2

Your problem gives you the year 2000 population and question 8 gives you the year 2005 population.

If x is the fractional increase from 1,998,257 up to 2,414,807, that means:

meaning the population in 2000 plus some fractional part of the population in 2000 is equal to the population in 2005. Solving the equation for x will give you a decimal fraction that you can multiply by 100 to get the percentage. I would round off to the nearest percent if I were going to do this one.
