The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we will break down the information given and perform calculations accordingly. ### Step 1: Understand the Migration Process Initially, we know that 10% of Brazil's population migrated to South Africa, then 10% of the remaining population migrated to America, and finally, 10% of the remaining population migrated to Australia. ### Step 2: Set Up the Initial Population Let the initial population of Brazil be \( P \). ### Step 3: Calculate the Population After Each Migration 1. **After migration to South Africa:** - 10% of \( P \) migrated, so \( 0.1P \) left. - Remaining population = \( P - 0.1P = 0.9P \). 2. **After migration to America:** - 10% of the remaining \( 0.9P \) migrated, which is \( 0.1 \times 0.9P = 0.09P \). - Remaining population = \( 0.9P - 0.09P = 0.81P \). 3. **After migration to Australia:** - 10% of the remaining \( 0.81P \) migrated, which is \( 0.1 \times 0.81P = 0.081P \). - Remaining population = \( 0.81P - 0.081P = 0.729P \). ### Step 4: Set Up the Equation for Remaining Female Population According to the problem, the remaining female population in Brazil is \( 364,500 \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 0.729P = 364,500 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( P \) To find \( P \), we rearrange the equation: \[ P = \frac{364,500}{0.729} \] Calculating this gives: \[ P = 500,000 \] ### Step 6: Determine the Female and Male Population From the problem, we know that the female population was half of the male population. Let the female population be \( F \) and the male population be \( M \). Thus: \[ F = \frac{M}{2} \] Since the total population \( P = F + M \), we can express \( M \) in terms of \( F \): \[ P = F + 2F = 3F \] So, we have: \[ F = \frac{P}{3} = \frac{500,000}{3} \approx 166,667 \] And: \[ M = 2F = 2 \times 166,667 \approx 333,334 \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation of Total Population The total population before migration was: \[ P = F + M = 166,667 + 333,334 = 500,000 \] ### Conclusion The total population of Brazil before migration was \( 500,000 \). ---
