Answer 2

Answer: 2%

Explanation: the given data in the question,

Decrease in city population = 25000 – 24500 = 500

Therefore, change in population = 500

Initial population = 25000

Percentage decrease = ($\frac{Change in Population}{Initial Population}$) × 100

On substituting the values, we get

= ($\frac{500}{25000}$) × 100

= 2%
