Answer:

p= 1125

Step-by-step explanation:

p-275= 850

p- 275= 850

  + 275  +275

p= 1125

P= the original population minus D= decrease in population is equal to C= the current population

p-d=c

Answer:

1125 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know the exact quantity, but we know it has decreased by 275 and it's currently 850, so we will represent it like this:

x - 275 = 850

x = original amount of people

Now we just solve it like any equation

x = 850 + 275

x = 1125
