Question

the population of a city decreased from 25'000 to 24'500 find the percentage decreased​

Answer 1

Answer:

The decreased population of a city from 25,000 to 24,500. Hence, the percentage decreased is 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population decreased = 25000 - 24500 = 500

Decreased Percentage = \frac{Population\ decreased}{Original\ population}\times100

Original population

Population decreased

×100

= \frac{500}{25000}\times100=2\%

25000

500

×100=2%

Answer 2

Given:

✰ Total Population = 25000

✰ Population was reduced from 25000 to 24500

To Find:

✠ Decrease%

Solution:

In this question, total population of a city is given and after that it is also given that population is reduced to 24500 and we have to find the Decrease%. So Firstly we will find the decrease in the population and after that we will apply the formula of decrease percent, that is, Decrease% = Decrease/Total × 100.

Let's find out...✧

Decrease = Total - Reduced

Decrease = 25000 - 24500

Decrease = 500

Decrease% = Decrease/Total × 100

Decrease% = 500/25000 × 100

Decrease% = 5/250 × 100

Decrease% = 5/25 × 10

Decrease% = 5/5 × 2

Decrease% = 10/2

Decrease% = 2%

⠀

∴ Decrease% in the Population is 2%.
