Question

the population of the town increases 8% annually. if its present population is 1,26,360, what was it a year ago ​

Answer 1

Answer:

population increase by 8percent

let initial population =x

increase population =126360-x

8÷100 of ×=126360-x

2÷25×x=126360-x

x+x=126360×25÷2

x=63180÷2×25

x=78975

increased population =126360-x

=126360-78975

=47385
