A. 58.2%

this is because

(95610-60450)/60450 =0.5816377171215 which rounds to 0.582 which is 58.2%

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Change in population/ original number

[tex]\frac{95610 - 60450}{60450}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{35160}{60450}[/tex] = .58163771712  This is the answer as a decimal.  Multiple this by 100 to get 58.2% increase rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
