Original population = 95897

Decreased population = 95300

No. of deceased people = 95897 - 95300 = 597

FORMULA TO FIND:

$\sf Decreased \: \%= \frac{Decreased \: value \times 100}{Original \: population}\%$

SOLVING BY APPLYING THE FORMULA:

$\rightarrow\sf Decreased \: \% = \frac{597 \times 100}{95897} \%$

${\rightarrow\sf Decreased \: \% = 0.0062254293669 \times 100\%}$

${\rightarrow\sf Decreased \: \% = 0.62254\%(approx)}$

HENCE:
