1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P



1,154,226 - (1,154,226 / .14) = P



1,154,226 + (1,154,226 * .14) = P



1,154,226 / (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Answer:

1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 14% of. Population has moved away, therefore 14% of Chicago population should be removed from 1154226 to find the current population of Chicago city.

[tex]\therefore \:P = 1154226 - 1154226 \times \frac{14}{100} \\ \\ \therefore \: P = 1154226 - 1154226 \times 0.14[/tex]

Answer:

1,154,226 - (1,154,226 * .14) = P

Step-by-step explanation:

Original population of Chicago = 1,154,226.

14% of the residents moved away from the city.

This comprises of [tex]\[\frac{14}{100}* 1,154,226\][/tex]

= [tex]\[0.14 * 1,154,226\][/tex]

Let the remaining population of Chicago be represented by P.

Then [tex]\[P= 1,154,226 - 1,154,226 * .14\][/tex]

Among the given options this is represented by option 1.
