Question

Question The population of North Dakota was about 672,000 in 2010. The population is projected to be about 630,000 in 2020. Find the percent decrease of the population of North Dakota. (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)​

Answer 1

Answer: 6.25%

Explanation:

Percent Decrease = ( ( Starting Value - Final Value ) / Starting Value ) * 100

So 672,000-630000 = 42,000

42,000 / 672,00 = 0.0625

Finally multiply by 100 soooooo 0.0625 * 100 = 6.25%
