Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first understand what percentage of the population actually exists after the decrease.
<h3>100% - 35% = 65% of the population.</h3>
We'll now convert 65% into a decimal. We can convert percentages into decimals by dividing the percentage by 100.
<h3>0.65 / 100 of the population.</h3>
We'll now make an equation.
<h2>0.65x = 29,900</h2><h2>x = 46,000.</h2><h3>Keep in mind that x, in the equation, is to represent the previous population. When you multiply it by 0.65, you're representing 65% of x which is also equal to 29,900. When you multiply the equation by (100/65) on each side, you find out the previous population is 46,000.</h3><h2>If you have issues or difficulties, feel free to contact me.</h2>
