The previous population was 14000.
Explanation
The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.
current population=9100
previous population =x
current population is 35% less than the previous population x
The previous population was 14000.
X/4 - 3
(*make sure to write the division in fraction form as shown for algebraic notation)
.725 multiplied by 4500=362.5
750+3262.5=4012.5
Answer:
2 cows and 5 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.
Let x = cows and y = chickens
1. form two equations
4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)
x + y = 7 .... (2)
2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation
x + y = 7
y = 7 - x ... (3)
3. Substitute (3) into (1)
4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18
4. solve for x
4x + 14 - 2x = 18
2x = 4
x = 2
5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)
x + y = 7
2 + y = 7
y = 5
∴ cows (x) = 2
chickens (y) = 5
The answer i believe is 4000
