Given :

the population of a village when increased by 15% become 19320.

Let the original population of village be x

According to the Question ;-

=> x = 19320 - 15% of x

=> x = 19320 - 0.15 × x

=> x = 19320 - 0.15x

=> x + 0.15x = 19320

=> 1.15x = 19320

=> x = 19320/1.15 = 16800

Hence,
The original population of the village is 16800.

Answer 2

Answer:

1,28,800 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let the previous population be x.}\\\\\text{Percentage increase = 15 \% }\\\\\text{Population after increase = 19320 people}\\\\\text{According to the question,}\\\\15 \% \: of \: x = 19320\\\\\implies \dfrac{15}{100} \times x  = 19320\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{19320 \times 100}{15} = 128800\\\\\text{Thus, the previous population before increase was } \large \underline{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{1,28,800 \: people.}}}}$
