The population of a small rural town in Iowa went from 5700 people in 1998 to 7945 in 2005. What is the rate of change in the population for this town?

Respuesta :

rate of change means (change)/time elapsed

change=5700 to 7945
7945-5700=2245

time elapsed is from 1998 to 2005 which is 7 years

rate=2245/7yrs=320 and 5/7 people per year
