Answer:
61%
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you have to find the change in the town's population.
Percentage wise we simply divide 25,800 by 42,600.
\(\frac{25800}{42600}= 0.6056\)
Now we round.
0.6056 The six rounds the 5 up, which will then round the 0 up.
Our change is 0.61.
Now to find the percentage we move the decimal point over two times to the right.
61% is the percentage of change.
