Question

in a park the number of plants increased by 9% over the previous year if the number of plants now is a 62130, how many plants were there in a previous year ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of plants in the previous year = 57,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "x" be the number of plants in the previous year.

Now, according to the question, "x" has increased by 9% to reach 62130

This means:

x + 9% of x = 62130

x + 0.09*x = 62130

(1 + 0.09)*x = 62130

1.09*x = 62130

x = 62130/1.09

x = 57000
