Answer:

10,373 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, you have to find 46% of 22,550. That answer is 10,373.
The correct answer is 32,923. To get this, you multiply 22,550 by .46 and you get 10,373. We know this couldn’t be the answer because that would mean there was a percent decrease, 10,373 is 46% of 22,550. So what you do is you add 22,550 and 10,373 to get 32,923. That is how you do percent increase.
