Ratio and Proportion

Calculation:

Population increased by 10%

⇒ 10 : 11

Population decreased by 18%

⇒ 50 : 41

Total population 

⇒ 10 × 50 : 11 × 41

⇒ 500 : 451

Two years ago a village had a population of 16000

500 unit = 16000

1 unit = 320

451 unit = 451 × 320

Present population will be 14432.
