Question

5% of the population of a certain town was killed in a bombardment and 7% of the remaining died in panic. If the population of the town is now 44175, find the population of the town at the beginning before the bombardment.



​

Answer 1

Answer:

50200

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population is 100x  

People died of bombarded 5%

People died due to panic 7%

∴100x-5x-7x=44175

x=501.988

x=502(as population can not be in decimals)

initial population =100*x=100*502=50200
