Question

There are 1,332 people under the age 20 in Pierce City. This represents 14% of the total population. What is the total population

Answer 1

The total population = 9514.2857143 people.

Explanation:

Let the total population be represented by X

In the question, we are told that,1332 people are under the age of 20 and this value = 14% of the total population.

Therefore, the total population is calculated as

14% of X = 1332

14/100 × X = 1332

14X/100 = 1332

Cross Multiply

14X = 1332 × 100

X = 1332 × 100/14

X = 9514.2857143

Therefore, the total population = 9514.2857143 people.
