Question

a village population was increased by 3% to 3605 people, what was the original population

Answer 1

Heya mate, Here is ur answer

Let the original population be x.

A/Q

x+ 3% of x = 3605 ( as population increased by 3%)

$x + \frac{3}{100} \times x = 3605$

$x + \frac{3x}{100} = 3605$


$\frac{100x + 3x}{100} = 3605$


$\frac{103x}{100} = 3605$


$x = \frac{3605 \times 100}{103}$


$x = 35 \times 100$


$x = 3500$


So, the population of town was 3500 .
