Answer 2

ANSWER :-

The decreased population of a city from 50,000 to 45,000.

Population decreased = 50,000 - 45,000 = 5,000

$Decreased \: percentage \: = \frac{population \: dereased}{original \: population} \times 100$

$= \frac{5000}{50000} \times 100$

$= \frac{5000}{{ \cancel{50000}}} \times { \cancel{100}}$

$= \frac{50}{5}$

$= 10\%$
