Practicing Success
A leopard entered a city and attacked its natives, killing 17% of the population. 35% of the remaining population left the city out of the fear of the leopard, leaving only 248/70 residents. What was the initial population? |
460000 440000 450000 230000 |
460000 |
Let total = 100% Dead = 17% Remaining = 83% Left the city = 83 x \(\frac{7}{20}\)% Remaining = \(\frac{83 x 13}{20}\)% → 248170 100% → \(\frac{248170 x 20}{83 x 13}\) x 100 100 % → 460000 |
