Respuesta :

The percentage computed illustrates that the previous population was 55000.

How to solve the percentage

Since the population of a city has decreased by 26% since it was last measured, that means that it's (100 - 26) = 74%.

Let the population be represented by x

Therefore, 74% of x = 40700

0.74 × x = 40700

x = 40700/0.74

x = 55000

Therefore, the previous population was 55000.
