Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent increase or decrease, we:

  1. Find the difference between the new value and the original
  2. Divide the number by the original
  3. Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.

The population of the town originally had 8,000 in 1992. In 1997, the population is 14,000.

  1. 14000-8000=6000
  2. 6000/8000=0.75
  3. 0.75(100)=75%

The towns population increase by 75%
