please solve the question step by step in a copy .

Answer 1

Let the original price be x.

Decrease in population = 17%.

So, Decreased population = (100 - 17%) of original population.

= 83 % of original population.

Now,

83% of x = 332000

= > 83/100 * x = 332000

= > 83x = 332000 * 100

= > 83x = 33200000

= > x = 33200000/83

= > x = 400000.

Therefore, the original population is 400000.

Hope this helps!
