Answer 1

140 %

Explanation:

(346-144)/144 * 100

(202/144) * 100

Answer 2

Answer: 140%

Explanation:

STEP 1: FIND THE CHANGE IN # OF PEOPLE:

initial # of people: 144

final # of people: 346

change in # of people = (final - initial)

change in # of people = (346 - 144)

change in # of people = 202

STEP 2: FIND THE % CHANGE

202/144 = x/100

(100)(202/144) = x

100(1.4) = x

140% = x
