Honestly first I think u need to do/know that 14 percent of the towns population that can be rewritten as 14/100 times the Town's population = 320.  
Then solve 14/100 Population = 320,Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 14/100.
Then Multiply by 100/14.
So Town population = 320 times 100/14 = 32000/14=2285.71 or approximately= (blank) people. (do u kinda understand it?)
