Write an equation. Use x for the population of the town.

90% of the population is the same as 90% of x.

To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100.

90/100 = 0.9, so 90% is the same as 0.9.

Now we write an equation.

0.9x = 4761

Divide both sides by 0.9:

x = 4761/0.9

x = 5290

Answer: The population of the town is 5290.

We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:

90% * p

We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:

90% * p = 4761.

From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9

p = 4761/0.9 = 5290

The population is 5290 people.

Prove sin^2A + cos^2A = 1
Nady [450]

Step-by-step explanation:

{sin}^{2} A +  {cos}^{2} A  = 1 \\ lhs =  {sin}^{2} A +  {cos}^{2} A  \\  =  {sin}^{2} A +  1 - {sin}^{2} A  \\  = 1 \\  = rhs \\  \therefore \:  {sin}^{2} A +  {cos}^{2} A  = 1 \\
