Answer 2

Answer:

let the total no of villagers be x

people who died in bombarding = 5%

people who left the village =15% of the remaining

Step-by-step explanation:

A/Q

5% of x + 15% of (100-5)% of x + 3553 = the total population

5/100 * x + 95x/100 * 15/100 + 3553 = x

5x/100 + 15/100 * 95x/100 + 3553 = x

5x/100 + 57x/400 + 3553 = x

20x + 57x + 1421200 = 400x

77x + 1421200 = 400x

1421200 = 400x- 77x

x = 4400
