12.5%
First you need to find how much more the population increased (700 people)
Then you set up for a cross multiply and divide
700/5600 x/100 
the 700 OVER 5600 people in fraction format shows the number of people arrived against the number of people already present
the x OVER 100 are the percentages, x representing what we need to find
The next step would then multiply 700x100 (cross multiply)
Then with the number you found 70,000 you would then divide by 5600 (divide)

The percent increase in population is 12.5% if the population of a town increased from 5,600 to 6,300 people.

What is the percentage?

It is defined as the ratio of two numbers expressed in the fraction of 100 parts. It is the measure to compare two data, the % sign is used to express the percentage.

We have:

The population of the town increased from 5,600 to 6,300 people.

Number of increments(Final - Initial) = 6300 - 5600

= 700

We can evaluate the percent increase as below:

[tex]\rm Percentage \ increase = \frac{final - initial}{initial \ value}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\rm Percentage increase = \frac{700}{5600} \times 100[/tex]

= 12.5 %

Thus, the percent increase in population is 12.5% if the population of a town increased from 5,600 to 6,300 people.
