Question

If the population of a town grew 11% up to 5,173, what was the population last year?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Population last year = 4,604

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Population this year =  5173

As it is 11% more than the previous year So,

Population last year = 5173 - 11% of 5173

Population last year = 5173 - 0.11(5173)

Population last year = 5173 - 569.03

Population last year = 4,603.97

As population can never be expressed in decimal so we will round it off as follows:

Population last year = 4,604
