Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The population of a village when increased by 15% becomes 19,320.

Let the original population of village be x

A/q

=> x= 19,320- 15% of x.

=> x= 19,320- 0.15×x

=> x= 19,320-0.15x

=> x+ 0.15x = 19,320

=> 1.15x= 19,320

=> x= 19,320/1.15 = 16,800

Hence,

The original population of the village is 16,800
