Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for percentage increase to find what percentage the population of Bigville increased.

(Increase ÷ original number) * 100 = % of increase

increase = 571,533 - 387,480 = 184,053

(184,053 ÷ 387,480) * 100 = 47.5

Bigville percent of increase is 47.5%
