The population of a city has increased by 36% since it was last measured. if the current population is 51000 , what was the previous population?

So if we have the number after the 36% increase in population, we would want to subtract that 36% from 51000.

36% of 51000 can be found by multiplying 51000 by 0.36 (0.36 is the decimal equivalent of 36%)

51000 x .36 = 18360

So you simply subtract 18360 from 51000, which is 32,640.

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.
