Seventy three percent of a town’s population own cars. What is the population of the town, if the number of cars owned is 112,420?

Respuesta :

73% = 112,420
1% = 1,540
100% = 154,000

Let the population of the town be [tex] P [/tex]. It is given that 73% of a town’s population own cars. The number of cars in the town is 112,420.

So,

[tex] \frac{73}{100}*P=112420 \\
P=\frac{112420}{0.73}\\
P=154000 [/tex].

The population of the town is [tex] 154,000 [/tex].
