Which equation will solve the following word problem? Chicago had 1,154,226 residents. 14% of the residents moved away. How many people now reside in Chicago?


1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P


1,154,226 - (1,154,226 / .14) = P


1,154,226 + (1,154,226 * .14) = P


1,154,226 / (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Answer 1

1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Explanation:

Residents 1154226

14% of 1154226 = 1154226 *(14/100)= 1154226*.14

since 1154226*.14 residents moved away so we subtract from actual one.

1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14)
