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

let population =x

so increased population=x+1200

11% = {x+1200×11)÷100

x+1200- 11% =x-32

on solving equation formed

we get x=10000
