By 1960 the population of Anchorage had increased by 10% while Tampa had increased by 9%. If the total population increased by 2380 poeple, then what was the population of each city in 1995.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THE COMBINED POPULATION OF BOTH THE CITIES IS GIVEN FOR YEAR 1995.
\n" ); document.write( "LET US ASSUME THAT THE POPULATION OF CITY ANCHORAGE IS x
\n" ); document.write( "THEN THE POPULATION OF CITY TAMPA BECOMES 25000-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "POPULATION INCREASE IN ANCHORAGE BY 1960
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " 10% of x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "POPULATION INCREASE IN TAMPA BY 1960
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " 9% of (25000 - x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "TOTAL POPULATION INCREASE IS GIVEN BY\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10x/100 + 9*(25000-x)/100 = 2380
\n" ); document.write( "(10x + 9*25000 - 9x)/100 = 2380
\n" ); document.write( "10x - 9x + 225000 = 2380*100
\n" ); document.write( " x + 225000 = 238000
\n" ); document.write( " x = 238000 - 225000
\n" ); document.write( " x = 13000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO population of ANCHORAGE IN 1995 WAS 13000
\n" ); document.write( "AND population of TAMPA IN 1995 WAS 25000 - 13000 = 12000\r
