Question

The population of city A is 26​% less than the population of city​ B, so city​ A's population is​ _____% of city​ B's.

Answer 1

74% because city B's population is considered to be 100%, so 26% less than 100% is 74%

Answer 2

Answer:

The population of city A is $74\%$ of the population of city B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y------> population of the city A

x-----> population of city B

we know that

$(100\%-26\%)=74\%=\frac{74}{100}=0.74$

so

$y=0.74x$

therefore

The population of city A is $74\%$ of the population of city B
