Answer 2

Answer:

ஃ Decrease in population = 500

$\sf \green {\% \: of \: decrease \: in \: population = 1 \frac{3}{7} \%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population of the city = 35000

Decrease population of the city = 34500

Decrease in population = 35000 - 34500 = 500

$\sf \% \: of \: decrease \: in \: population$ $\sf = ( \frac{Amount \: of \: change}{Initial \: amount} \times 100)\%$

$\sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (\frac{ \cancel{500}^{10} }{{350} _{7} \cancel0 \cancel0} \times 1 \cancel0 \cancel0)\% = \frac{10}{7} = 1 \frac{3}{7} \%$
