Answer 2

Original population was 25000

Decreased population is 24500

Decrease in population = 25000 - 24500

                                        = 500

Decrease% = decrease / original × 100%

                   = 500/25,000 × 100%

                   = 5/250 × 100%

                   = 500/250 %

                   = 2%

The rate of decrease was 2%

Hope it helps
