Number System
The population of a town increases by 15% in the first year and decreases by 25% in the second year. If its current population is 168480 then what will be its population after two years ?
Let the number be 10x + y.Therefore, x + y = 9 ..................(i)10x + y - (10y + x) = 4510x + y - 10y - x = 45Therefore, x - y = 5 ..................(ii)From (i) and (ii), x = 7, y = 2Number = 72Therefore, = x x y = 7 x 2 = 14
