Answer 2

Given :-

When the population is increased by 32%, it becomes 77748

To Find :-

Original population

SoluTion :-

Let the original population be x

Increase = 32% of x

After increasing, the population = (32% of x) + x

Also, after increasing, the population = 77748

According to the question,

$\rm {\Rightarrow (32 \% \ of \ x) + x = 77748 }\\\\\\\\\rm {\Rightarrow \dfrac{32x}{100} + x = 77748}\\\\\\\\\rm {\Rightarrow \dfrac{132x}{100} = 77748}\\\\\\\\\rm {\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{77748 \times 100}{132} }\\\\\\\\\rm {\Rightarrow x = 589 \times 100}\\\\\\\\\rm {\Rightarrow x = 58900}$

Thus, original population = 58900
