To get the percentage, first, we must subtract 5,600 from 6,300.
6,300 - 5,600 = 700
.
Second, we must divide 700 by 5,600.
700 / 5,600 = 0.125
.
Then, move the decimal place two places to the right and add a percent sign (%).
0.125 = 12.5%
.
Therefore, the percent of increase of the population of the town is 12.5%.
