Answer 2

Answer:

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

I will explain u in clear manner

given,

present population is 12,544.

and population is increasing 12%every year,

that means,assume last year's population as 100%,

then present population is 112% which is equal to 12544.

therefore,last year's population is (12544*100)/112=11,200.

similarly,now assume two years ago population as 100%,

then an year ago population will become 112% which is equal to 11200,

therefore,2 years ago,the population is(11200*100)/112,

=10000.

Hope u understand...
