Question

Suppose the population of a certain city is 5769 . It is expected to decrease to 4963 in 50 years. Find the percent decrease.

Answer 1

The percent decrease of the population of certain city in 50 years is 13.97%

Explanation:

You need to find the difference between the two numbers

5769-4963= 806

Then divide the decrease (806) by the original number

806/5769= 0,1397

And multiply the result (0,1397) by 100

0,1397 x 100 = 13.97%
