The population of Virginia is 7,980,000 people.
- Let the population of Virginia be V.
- Let the population of Georgia be G.
Given the following data:
- Population of Georgia = 10.5 million
To find the population of Virginia:
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
24% percent less:
[tex]\frac{24}{100}[/tex] × [tex]10500000[/tex]
[tex]24[/tex] × [tex]105000[/tex]
24% of G = 2,520,000
Now, we can find the population of Virginia:
[tex]V = G - 2,520,000[/tex]
[tex]V = 10,500,000 - 2,520,000[/tex]
V = 7,980,000 people.
Therefore, the population of Virginia is 7,980,000 people.
