Solution

Initial population $= 1600000$
New population $= 2100000$
increase in population $= 2100000 - 1600000$
$= 500000$
Percentage increase $= \frac{T o t a l i n c r e a s e p o p u l a t i o n}{I n i t i a l p o p u l a t i o n} \times 100$
$= \frac{500000}{1600000} \times 100 = 31.25 %$
Hence the Percentage increase in the population is $31.25 %$
