Question

The population of a school in 1997 was 1 800, which was 123 students more than that in 1996. Express the population of the school in 1996 as a percentage of that in 1997.​

Answer 1

93.2%

Explanation:

First find the population in 1977 by subtracting 123 from 1800.

Population of school in 1996 = 1800 - 123

= 1677 students

`\text{Percentage population in 1996 as of that in 1997} = (population \ in \ 1996)/(population \ in \ 1997)*100`

`= (1677)/(1800)*100\\\\=93.2 \ \%`
