The population in anna's town was 2,600 last year , this year , the population is 12% greater. what is the population on anns town this year?

2912 is the population . when 12% is increase of the Ann's population

To find the percentage of any number, you multiply that number by the decimal version of your percent. 12% equals 0.12 as a decimal (you move the decimal to the right twice) or 12/100 as a fraction. So, we need to multiply 2600 by 0.12, or 12/100. I'm gonna assume you have a calculator or somethibg. if not, I can show you the long way in the comments. Anyway, if you multiply this, you get 312. However, that's just how much the population has increased--not the new population. we would need to add 312 to 2600 to get that value. in the end, we get 2912. Hope that helps!

Ithink the right answer could be 50%
