\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}

\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent  }

\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}

\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}

\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }

\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}

\sf{Let \: the \: total \:  population\: be \: x }

\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}

\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }

\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }

\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}

\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}

\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}

\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}

\sf{ x = 180010/100}

\sf{ x = 1800.1 }

\bold{\pink{Hence , The\: original \:population \:of \: the\: village \:is \:1800.1 }}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to remember:

1). When we divide a number having decimal by 10, 100, 1000 or any number multiple of ten, decimal point of the numerator shifts left by the number of zeros present in denominator.

Example:    \frac{2.0}{100}=0.02

2). When we multiply a decimal number by 10, 100, or any number number multiple of 10, decimal point of the original number shifts right by number of zeros present in multiplier.

Example:   2.0 × 100 = 200

In this question, 0.014 × 100000 = 1400.000

Therefore, product of 0.014 and 100000 is 1400 because the decimal point in 0.014 moves 5 places to the right.

Pythagorean Theorem with Known Legs
stepan [7]

you're given the pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

what you're trying to find is ?, which is the number under the radical.

let's pretend one leg is a and the other is b.

a = 9

b = 10

so let's plug it into the equation. we get 9^2 + 10^2 = c^2

so that equals 81 + 100 = c^2

181 = c^2

so c will equal the square root of 181. therefore, ? = 181.

hope i helped! good luck.
