Answer:

In 2015, the population of Huntersville was 129.21% of the population of Wright's Park.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2015,

  • Wright's Park had a population of 51,700 - 100%
  • Huntersville had a population of 66,800 - x%

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{51,700}{66,800}=\dfrac{100}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]51,700\cdot x=66,800\cdot 100\\ \\517x=668\cdot 100\\ \\517x=66,800\\ \\x=\dfrac{66,800}{517}\approx 129.21\%[/tex]
