Problem: village p ’ s population is 1150 greater than village q ' s population . if village q ’ s population were reduced by 200 people , then village p ’ s population would be 4 times as large as village q ' s population . what is village q ' s current population ?
Rationale: p = q + 1150 . p = 4 ( q - 200 ) . 4 ( q - 200 ) = q + 1150 . 3 q = 1950 . q = 650 . the answer is c .
