What is meant by percentage?

A part or amount in every hundred is defined as a percentage. It's a fraction having a denominator of 100 and is denoted by the sign "%".

Percentage increase in each year = 3.25%

Total percentage increase after 15 years = 48.75%

Increased Population = (48.75 / 100) * 360000

Increased Population = 1,75,500

Total population after 15 years = 3,60,000 + 1,75,500 = 5,35,500.

Hence the total population of the  city after 15 years will be 5,35,500.
