Question

The population of Virginia is 24% less than the population of Georgia,. If the population of Georgia is 10.5 million what is the population of Virginia

Answer 1

The population of Virginia is 7,980,000 people.

• Let the population of Virginia be V.

• Let the population of Georgia be G.

Given the following data:

• Population of Georgia = 10.5 million

To find the population of Virginia:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

24% percent less:

$\frac{24}{100}$ × $10500000$

$24$ × $105000$

24% of G = 2,520,000

Now, we can find the population of Virginia:

$V = G - 2,520,000$

$V = 10,500,000 - 2,520,000$

V = 7,980,000 people.

Therefore, the population of Virginia is 7,980,000 people.
