Question

A town's population increased by 1200 people, and then this new population decreased
11%. The town now had 32 less people than it did before the 1200 increase. Find the
original population.​

Answer 1

Answer:10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original population be x

when 1200 are increased :x+1200

when decreased by 11 %

(x+1200) - (11%*(x+1200))

=(89x+106800)/100

It becomes 32 less than the original one.

((89x+106800)/100)+32=x

89x+106800+3200=100x

110000=11x

x=10000

Answer 2

Answer:

Let original population be x when 1200 are increased :x+1200

when decreased by 11 present

(x +1200)-(11 present (x +1200))

=(89x +106800)/100

it becomes 32 less than original one

((89x+106800)100/+32=x

89+106800+3200=100x

11000=11x

x=1000
