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>
