Study Notes
Converting Percentages to Ratios
- To express a percentage as a ratio, first convert the percentage to a fraction.
- 0.36% is equivalent to 0.36/100.
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 0.04.
- This gives us 9/2500
- Therefore, 0.36% expressed as a ratio is 9:2500.
Population Increase Calculation
- The population increased from 268000 in 2007 to 375200 in 2010.
- This means the increase in population is 375200 - 268000 = 107200.
- The percentage increase is calculated by dividing the increase in population by the original population and multiplying by 100.
- Therefore the percentage increase is (107200/268000) * 100 = 40%.
- The population of the town increased by 40% over three years.
