Percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100
A positive percent change is a percent increase.
A negative percent change is a percent decrease.
In this problem, we have:
The new number is 15 laps.
The old number is 12 laps.
percent change = (15 - 12)/(12) * 100
percent change = 3/12 * 100
percent change = 25
Since the percent change is positive, +25, it is a percent increase.
Answer: The percent increase is 25%

Answer:
t = 137.9 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:
A = P (1 + r) t
Where:
p = original population
r = growing rate (decimal form)
t= years
A = population after t years
Replacing with the values given:
A = 6,250 (1 + 3.75/100)^t
A = 6,250 (1 + 0.0375)^t
A = 6,250 (1.0375)^t
1915-1890 = 25 years passed (t)
A = 6,250 (1.0375)^25
A = 15,689
1940-1890 = 50 years passed (t)
A = 6,250 (1.0375)^50
A = 39,381
- When will the population reach 1,000,000?. We have to subtitute A=1000000 and solve for t.
1,000,000= 6,250 (1.0375)^t
1,000,000/ 6,250 =(1.0375)^t
160 = 1.0375^t
log 160 = log 1.0375^t
log 160 = (t ) log 1.0375
log160 / log 1.0375= t
t = 137.9 years
