Explanation:

Answer 2

So first let's find out how much the town's population increased by. That'll be 1,966 because 16,489 - 14,523 = 1, 966. Then, we divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. 1,966/14,523 x 100, which will give us 13.537147972182056049025683398746815396. That rounded to the nearest percent would be 14.

Therefore, the percent increase is 14 %
