Problema Solution

The problem of a certain city is 35% greater than it was 10 years ago. If the population in this city today is 105,000, What was the population 10 years age?

Answer provided by our tutors

We assume "The problem of a certain city" should read "The population of a certain city"


let 'x' represent the population 10 years ago, then

105000 = x + 0.35x

x=77777.777


The population 10 years ago would have been approximately 77,778
