1.	A town's population increased by 1200 people, and then this new population decreased1 1 %. The town now had 32 less people than it did before the 1200 increase. Find theoriginal population
Answer» Let's assume total population= pSo increased population= p+1200 Now after 11% decrease population= p-32 So total decreased population= 1200+32= 1232 11% of 1200 = 1200×11/100 =132So 11% of p = 1232-132 = 1100 If 11% of p = 1100Then 1% of p = 1100/11and 100% of p = 1100/11×100 =10000So original population was= 10000

Let's assume total population= pSo increased population= p+1200

Now after 11% decrease population= p-32

So total decreased population= 1200+32= 1232

11% of 1200 = 1200×11/100 =132So 11% of p = 1232-132 = 1100

If 11% of p = 1100Then 1% of p = 1100/11and 100% of p = 1100/11×100 =10000So original population was= 10000
