Dear Student
From the question, it is given that Initial population of the city = 25000 Final population of the city = 24500 Population decrease = Initial population–Final population = 25000–24500 = 500 Then, Percentage decrease in population = (population decrease/Initial population) × 100 = (500/25000) × 100 = (50000/25000) = 50/25 = 2%
Thanks
