Answer:

100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Population</em><em> </em><em>Of</em><em> </em><em>People</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>Percentage</em><em>ncrease</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>New</em><em> </em><em>Population </em><em>corresponds </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>%</em>

<em>(</em><em>That</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>0</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em>)</em>

<em>We</em><em> </em><em>want</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>popula</em><em>tion</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>corresponds</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>100%</em><em> </em><em>that </em><em>is </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>original</em><em> </em><em>population</em><em>.</em>

<em>Therefore</em><em> </em><em>Original </em><em>Population</em><em>;</em>

<em>\frac{100}{115}\times {115}{}</em>

<em>100 \: people</em>

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

1) 14   2) 6   3) 53   4)-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 15 - n/7 = 13                                    

  7*15 - 7*n/7 = 7*13

  105 - n = 91

  -n = 91 - 105

  -n = -14

   n = 14

2) 44 = - 4 + 8p

   -8p = - 4 - 44

   -8p = -48

   -p   = - 48/8

   -p  = 6

3) 21 - h= -32

   -h = -32 -21

   -h = -53

   h = 53

4) -19 = 11b + 3

   -11b = 19 + 3

   -11b = 22

     -b = 22/11

    -b = 2

    b = -2

Find the difference. (2g^2+3g-8)-(5g+1)
Sonja [21]

We can remove parenthesis if we change the sign of all terms in the second parenthesis (because we're subtracting it).

So, we have

(2g^2+3g-8)-(5g+1) = 2g^2+3g-8-5g-1

And now we simply have to aggregate like terms:

2g^2-2g-9
