Answer:
The percent increase in the employment from the year [tex]2000[/tex] to year [tex]2010[/tex] is [tex]15.07\%[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Employment in the year [tex]2000[/tex] [tex]=146[/tex] million.
Employment in the year [tex]2010[/tex] [tex]=168[/tex] million.
To find: The percent increase in the employment.
Solution: We have,
Employment in the year [tex]2000[/tex] [tex]=146[/tex] million.
Employment in the year [tex]2010[/tex] [tex]=168[/tex] million.
Increase in employment [tex]=168-146=22[/tex] million.
Percent increase [tex]=\frac{\textrm{Increase in employment}}{\textrm{Original employment}}\times100\%[/tex]
Percent increase [tex]=\frac{22}{146}\times100\%=15.07\%[/tex]
Hence, the percent increase in the employment from the year [tex]2000[/tex] to year [tex]2010[/tex] is [tex]15.07\%[/tex].
