Which equation will solve the following word problem? Chicago had 1,154,226 residents. 14% of the residents moved away. How many people now reside in Chicago?


1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P


1,154,226 - (1,154,226 / .14) = P


1,154,226 + (1,154,226 * .14) = P


1,154,226 / (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Answer 1

Answer:

1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 14% of. Population has moved away, therefore 14% of Chicago population should be removed from 1154226 to find the current population of Chicago city.

$\therefore \:P = 1154226 - 1154226 \times \frac{14}{100} \\ \\ \therefore \: P = 1154226 - 1154226 \times 0.14$
