Answer:

2286

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 14 percent of a number and get 320, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 14 percent of a number is 320 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 320 by 100 and then divide the total by 14 as follows: (320 x 100) / 14

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:

2285.71

can't have a portion of someone to you round it to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The town’s population is 2286 (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of the town’s residents :

We can translate the statement “14% of the town’s population is over the age of 65 and there are 320 residents over the age of 65” mathematically like this :

[tex]\frac{14}{100} x=320[/tex]

[tex]\Longrightarrow 14x=320\times 100\\\\\Longrightarrow 14x=32000[/tex]

[tex]\Longrightarrow x=\frac{32000}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\Longrightarrow x=2285.71428571429[/tex]
