Answer:

\(1,366\ veterinarians\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----->  the new number of veterinarians

we know that

\(100\%+12.5\%=112.5\%\\\\112.5\%=\frac{112.5}{100}=1.125\)

The new number of veterinarians is equal to the original number multiplied by \(1.125\)

so

\(x=1,215*1.125=1,366.875\ veterinarians\)

since you can't have fractions of people

\(x=1,366\ veterinarians\)

The new number of veterinarians is 1,366.875.

Given that,

  • The number of veterinarians in California increased by 12.5%.
  • And, the original number was 1,215.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

\(= 1,215 \times (1+ 12.5\%)\\\\= 1,215 \times 1.125\)

= 1,366.875

Therefore we can conclude that the new number of veterinarians is 1,366.875.
