Answer:

Explanation:

Given :

• The population of a town decreased from 35000 to 25000.
• Population of a town = 35000

To Find :

• The percentage decrease.

Solution :

Given that, The population of a town decreased from 35000 to 25000.

=> Population decreased = 35000 - 25000

=> Population decreased = 10000

We need to find percentage of decreased,

Decreased Percentage = Population decreased/Original population × 100

=> Decreased percentage = 10000/35000 × 100

=> Decreased percentage = 10000/350

=> Decreased percentage = 200/7 %

Hence :

The decreased percentage is 200/7 %.
