    Origianl=100%

    decresaed by 38%

    100-38=62

    62%=9300

    find 100%

    we can do ratio and proporition or something else

    9300=62% of original

    9300=0.62 times original

    divide both sides by 0.62

    14838.70967=original

    To get the previous population you would have to multiply 9,300 by 38% (.38) and then add it to 9,300, or you can also multiply it by 138% (1.38) and still get the same answer but this step is only a one step the first is a two step process
