Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p = [tex]\frac{83,700}{1.35}[/tex]
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
