Question

in a city 30% of government employee and 3500 are private employees find the population of the city​

Answer 1

Answer:

total population = x= 5000

Step-by-step explanation:

let total employees be x

private employees=3500

according to question

30% of x + 3500 = x

or 30/100 of x × 3500 = x

or 3x/10 + 3500 = x

or 3x/10 = x-3500

or 3x/10 × x = -3500

or (3x - 10x)/10 = -3500

or -7x = -3500×10

or x = -35000/-7

or x= 5000
