Answer 2

Question :-

• The population of a city decreased from 25000 to 24000. Find the percentage decrease.

Answer :-

• The percentage decrease was 4%.

Given :-

• The population of a city decreased from 25000 to 24000.

To find :-

• The percentage decrease.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• In this question, it has been given that the population of a city decreased from 25000 to 24000. We have to find the percentage decrease. But for that, we first have to find out the population decreased. Then we can use a formula to find the percentage decrease.

Step-by-step explanation :-

We know that :-

Amount Decrease = Original Amount - New Amount.

Here,

• Original amount (Population) = 25000.
• New amount (Population) = 24000.

Hence,

$\tt Population \: decrease = 25000 - 24000$

$\underline {\boxed{\tt Population \: decrease = 1000.}}$

• That means, there was a population decrease of 1000.

• Now, let's find the percentage decrease.

We know that :-

${\overline{\boxed{\sf Decrease \: \% = \dfrac{Decrease}{Original \: Amount} \times 100}}}$

Here,

• Decrease = 1000.
• Original amount (Population) = 25000.

Hence,

$\tt Decrease \: \% = \dfrac{100 \not0}{25 \not0 \not0 \not0} \times 1 \not0 \not0$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\tt Decrease \: \% = \dfrac{100}{25} \times 100$

Reducing the numbers,

$\tt Decrease \: \% = \dfrac{4}{1} \times 1$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers.

$\tt Decrease \: \% = 4 \times 1$

On multiplying,

$\underline{\boxed{\tt Decrease \: \% = 4.}}$
