In the year 2000, there were 5,000 people living in the town of Clairmont. By 2010, the population had grown to 5,600. What is the percent of change in the population from 2000 to 2010?
A. 88.3%
B. 11%
C. 12%
D.-20%
I believe the answer is c ,BECAUSE... to find the change you take 5000 multiply it by the numbers that if aded would equal 5600 and 5000 times .12= 600, 5000 +600= 5600 hence the number of population in 2010. hope I helped
