the population of a state increases 4% anually.If the population was 16016 at the end of 2002,the population at the beggining of 2002 was how much?

If the population increases by 4% each year, at the end of the year the population will be 104% of the original population at the start of the year.\nSo, the population at the end of the year is 16016, which is 104% of the original.\nSo 100% would be the popluation at the start of the year.\nUsing ratio and algebra:\n16016/104 = x/100\nx = 100*16016/104\nTherefore, x = 15400.\nTherefore the popluation at the start of 2002 was 15400.\nDouble check by doing the question in reverse, now that you have the original popluation.\n\n4% of 15400 = 616\n\n15400 + 616 = 16016\n\nTherefore you can be sure that the original population at the start of the year was 15400.

Remember that percent means "per 100." \n\n4/10 = 0.4\nMultiplying 0.4 times 100 gives you 40%.

Please remember that often those values are based on a 2000 calorie diet, something many people exceed.\n\nYes, it would, if you were on a 2000 calorie diet, for if you have 1000 needed, and you drank 20%, or 200, then 200 more, 200+200 is 400, or 40%

you question is interesting. \n20% of 5000 is 1000. \n75% of 1000  is 750\nSo the answer is 750

Turning  99409.12 into 100000 is a 0.594% gain. This can be obtained in .594/4.5 = 0.132 years. Which is 48.2 days.

a) 9¼% per year, compounded semiannually\n\nA = P(1 + r/100)^t\n= P*(1.04625^(2))^t\n≈ P*(1.09464)^t\nwhere t = number of years\n\nb) 9% pa, compounded continuously:\n\nA = P(lim n→∞ (1 + 0.09/n)^n)^t\n\nlim n→∞ (1 + 0.09/n)^n\n= lim n/0.09→∞ ((1 + 0.09/n)^n/0.09)^0.09\n= e^0.09\n\nSo A = Pe^(0.09t) (t in years)\n≈ P*1.09417^t which is slightly less than 9¼% per year, compounded semiannually

It was about 4%. I can't say about Connecticut but I'm sure it wasn't far from the national numbers. You have to remember this calculation is based on an assumed average group of purchases/expenditures and doesn't reflect exactly what each individual does.

OK, so you need to find the whole number that fits a percentage right?  The easiest way is to multiply the percent as a decimal by the whole.  So if you interview 425 people, and 40% have blue eyes, then you would multiply 40% by 425 as 0.4 x 425 = 170.  Got it?

The odometer just rolled over to 300,000,000 (three hundred million.  We are on our way to a Chinese like, or Indian like population.  When the population reaches a certain size it will begin to expand geometrically, (doubling, tripling, etc.)

What I did was took the 2000 and added 500 for each month of the year and multiplied it by 1.035. then i added the 500 a month again and multiplied it by the 1.035 again. i did that until the end of the 10th year and I got 75673.15. Check this with others. this may not be exact!

It's not a complete answer, but see Table 694 in the Stat Abs US, 2004.

I think the answer would be 1), though it is a stupid question. The right way to frame the question would be around a confidence interval.

200,000 is 88% of 227,272.\n\n(100 divided by 88) then multiplied by 200,000.\n\n\nAlso,\n88% of 235,000 is 206,800\n\n(235,000 multiplied by 0.88)\n\n\nRIGHT THEN. (your amendment...)\n210,000 is 88% of 238,636\n(100 divided by 88) then multiplied by 200,000\n\nA lot of people are falling into the trap of confusing their net figures and their gross figures.  A lot of other people are just plain wrong!
