Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer is -12.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent decrease, we:

Find the difference between the new value and the original

Divide the number by the original

Multiply by 100 and the % symbol.

The population of the town originally had 25,000. 3,200 people moved away. This means that the new population is 21,800.

21,800-25,000=-3,200

-3,200/25,000=-0.128

-0.128(100)=-12.8%

The towns population decreased by 12.8%.
