Answer 2

Answer:

If the population of a city decreased from 50000 to 49500 then the percentage decrease​ is 1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a city in the previous year  = 50000

The population of a city in the present year = 49500

So, decreased population of a city = 50000 - 49500 = 500

The percentage decrease​ =$\frac{500}{50000} \times 100 = \frac{1}{100} \times 100 = 1$%
