Question

The population of a city has increased by 33% since it was last measured. If the current population is 39,900, what was the previous population?
=___

Answer 1

Answer:

26,733

Step-by-step explanation:

39,900 - Percentage decrease =

39,900 - (33% × 39,900) =

39,900 - 33% × 39,900 =

(1 - 33%) × 39,900 =

(100% - 33%) × 39,900 =

67% × 39,900 =

67 ÷ 100 × 39,900 =

67 × 39,900 ÷ 100 =

2,673,300 ÷ 100 =

26,733

Hope this helps :)
