Question

Between 8.5% and 9.4% of the city's population uses the municipal transit system daily. According to the latest census, the city's population is 785,000. How many people use the transit system daily?

Answer 1

• A system of busses, railroads, etc, and it may move the wider populace along defined routes.
• It is used as a basic instrument in the modulation of transport systems, whether it covers an aircraft network or a railway network.
• It is much more frequent in current circumstances that already existing transport systems are rationalized.

Given:

City's population= 785,000.

Calculating of city's population:

$\to \bold{785000 \cdot 8.5 \% = 785000 \cdot \frac{8.5}{100}=785000 \cdot \frac{\frac{85}{10}}{100}}$

Calculating the complex fraction:

$\to \bold{\frac{\frac{85}{10}}{100}, \text{write as 100 like} \ \frac{100}{1}}$

$\to \bold{785000 \cdot \frac{ \frac{85}{10}}{100}=785000 \cdot \frac{\frac{85}{10}}{\frac{100}{1}}=785000 \cdot \frac{85}{1000}=66725}$

Therefore, $\bold{8.5\% \ of\ 785000\ is\ {66725}}$

Calculating $\bold{9.4\%}$ of the city's population:

$\to \bold{9.4\% (\frac{9.4}{100})}:\\\\\to \bold{785000 \cdot 9.4\% = 785000 \cdot \frac{9.4}{100}=785000 \cdot \frac{\frac{64}{10}}{100}}$

Calculating the complex fraction:

$\to \bold{ \frac{\frac{94}{10}}{100}\ \text{write 100 as} \ \frac{100}{1}}\\\\\to \bold{785000 \cdot \frac{\frac{94}{10}}{100}=785000 \cdot \frac{\frac{94}{10}}{\frac{100}{1}}=785000 \cdot \frac{94}{1000}=73790}$

Therefore, $\bold{9.4\%\ of\ 785000\ is\ {73790}}$

So, the final answer is "Between 66725 and 73790 people use the transit system daily".
