Step-by-step explanation:
Find the population after second year:
Decrease = 15% of 1.15x = 0.15(1.15x) = 0.1725x
Population = 1.15x - 0.1725x = 0.9775x
Find the net decrease:
net decrease = x - 0.9775x = 0.0225x
Find the percentage decrease:
Percentage decrease = (decrease ÷ original) x 100
Percentage decrease = (0.0225x ÷ x) x 100 = 2.25%
Answer: The population has decreased by 2.25%
