    population of 1st city = 660,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the population of second city be x

    given that

    population of the first city is equal to 32% of the population of the second city

    Therefore

    population of 1st city = 32% of the population of the second city

    32% of x = (32/100) * x

    total population of two cities = x + (32/100) * x = (100x+32x) / 100 = 132x/100

    Also, population of two cities = 660000

    thus,

    132x/100 = 660000

    => 132x = 660000*100 = 66000000

    => x = 66000000/132 = 2,062,500

    Thus, population of 2nd city is 2,062,500

    population of 1st city = (32/100) * x = 32/100 * 2,062,500 = 660,000
