To solve for the percent increase of a population:
[tex]201000\longrightarrow237180[/tex]New Population = 237,180
Old population = 201,000
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{percentage increase=}\frac{new-old}{old}\times\frac{100}{1} \\ \text{ \%}increase=\frac{237180-201000}{201000}\times\frac{100}{1} \end{gathered}[/tex]To evaluate the percentage increase:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \%increase=}\frac{\text{36180}}{201000}\times\frac{100}{1} \\ \text{ \%increase=}\frac{\text{3618000}}{201000} \\ \text{ \%increase =18 \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the percent increase = 18%
