Answer 1

In the year 2001, the number of malaria patients admitted in the hospitals of a state was 4,375. Every year, the number decreased by 8%. The number of patients in 2003 was 3703.

The number of patients admitted in the year 2001 was 4375.

It is stated that the number of them admitted decreases by 8% every year.

So, in 2002, the number of patients admitted = (100 - 8)% of (4375)

= 92% of 4375

= (92/100) × 4375

= 4025.

Similarly, in 2003, the number of patients admitted = 92% of the patients in 2002

= 92% of 4025

= (92/100) × 4025

= 3703.

So, the number of patients admitted in 2003 are 3703.
