The following line graph shows the population (in million) of Istanbul over 6 years (from 2013 to 2018). Answer the given question based on the line graph. What is the approximate percentage increase in the population of Istanbul from 2013 to 2018?
To find the approximate percentage increase in the population of Istanbul from 2013 to 2018, we can use the formula for percentage increase:
Percentage Increase = \(\left(\frac{\text{Final Value} - \text{Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\right) \times 100%\)
From the line graph, we have the following data:
- Population in 2013 = 1.3 million
- Population in 2018 = 2.8 million
Applying the values to the formula:
- Final Value = 2.8 million
- Initial Value = 1.3 million
Now calculate the increment:
Increment = 2.8 - 1.3 = 1.5 million
Now plug these values into the percentage increase formula:
Percentage Increase = \(\left(\frac{1.5}{1.3}\right) \times 100%\)
Simplify this:
Percentage Increase ≈ \(1.1538 \times 100\%\) = 115.38%
Therefore, the approximate percentage increase in the population of Istanbul from 2013 to 2018 is 115%.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- 115%
