Answer 2

Answer:

The population of village is 3500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The village population increased by 3 % to 3605.

To find : What was the original population.

Solution :

Let the original population be x.

According to question :

x+ 3% of x = 3605 ( as population increased by 3%)  

Solving the equation,

$x+\frac{3}{100}\times x=3605$

$\frac{100x+3x}{100}=3605$

$\frac{103x}{100}=3605$

$x=\frac{3605\times 100}{103}$

$x=3500$

Therefore, The population of village is 3500.
