The population of a city increased by 35% and is now 40500 . What was the initial population?

First, you turn 35% into a fraction 35/100, then you turn 40500 into a fraction too which is 40500/1 and then you multiply them together and you should have 1,417,500/100. Then you simplify it by dividing 1,471,500 by 100 and you should get 14,175. Mark Brainliest if this problem helps!
