The population of a village is 24000. If it is expected to decrease by 4 percent the next year, then what will be the population of the village next year?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 23040.
The population of a village = 24000
Percentage decrease = 4%
New population = Initial population × (100 - Percentage decrease)/100
So, the next year the population of the village = 24000 × 96/100
= 23040
