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