The population of a city has increased by 27% since it was last measured. If the current population is 38,100, what was the previous population? =___

the previous population was 62,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current population of a city = 83,700

The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.

We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.

Let the previous population be p

p +(35% × p) = 83,700

p + 0.35p = 83,700

1.35p = 83,700

p =  

p = 62,000

Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.

30,000

38,100/1.27 = 30,000

i think this could be a possible answer (1 / 84) -1
