Respuesta :

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest whole percent, the percent increase in population from 2000 to 2010 is 67%.

Here is the answer.

The number of whales in 2010 - The number of whales in 2000 = 500 - 300 = 200.

Increased number / original number = 200/300*100

= 200/3

= 66.7% ~ 67%

Therefore, the percent increase in population from 2000 to 2010 is 67%.
