Answer:
The answer to your question is 70.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Year Population
2009 2.7
2017 4.6
Process
To solve this problem use proportions and cross multiplication. Consider the population of 2009 is 100%.
2.7 ------------------------- 100%
4.6 ------------------------ x
x = (4.6 x 100) / 2.7
x = 460/2.7
x = 170.4%
-Substract 100% from the result.
Percent change = 170.4 - 100
= 70.4%
