Question

The population of village village when increase by 15℅ become 19,320. What was the original population?

Answer 1

Given :

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


Let the original population of village be x


A/q

=> 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.
