Question
The population of a village decreased by 12%. If the original population was 25,000, find the population after decrease?
Solution
Original population = 25,000
Decrease in population = 12% Population after decrease
= 25,000 – 12% of 25,000
= 25,000 − `12/100` × 25,000
= 25,000 – 3,000
= 22,000
