As we do not have the original population we need to let it be as x
so the formula will be
%Decrease=Decrease/base value×100
so,the formula will become
11%=1200/x×100
11x%=1200×100
11x%=120000
x=120000/11
x=10909.09
now as it's given let's subtract the decrease.
10909.09-32
ans Will be 10877.09
I hope the ans is correct.
Plz tell me the right ans.
I am not sure about it.
