Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract the current population from the previous population.

55112-47230= 7882

Answer:

1. subtract the old population from the new population  (55,112 - 47,230)

2. Divide your answer by the old population and multiply what you get times 100.

55,112 - 47,230 = 7882

7,882/47,230 * 100 = 16.68
