Algebra.Com's Answer #2378 by jainenderkapoor(61)![]() ![]() 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 \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "HOPE THIS IS CLEAR TO YOU.
