Answer:

≈ 13.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

As the total population is 5769 in the initial period, you must find the percentage that repesents 4963 that is the expected population.

4963/5769=0.8602

Then you multiply it by 100 to transform it into percentage

0.8602*100=86.02%

Then it's just necesary to subtract that from 100% and that numbers is the percentage of decrease

100% - 86.02% = 13.98%

Also you can say that is approximately 14%

Answer: the total amount of money that they wanted to raise is $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total amount of money that Keelan and her friends want to raise.

After the first event they raise $240 which is 10% of the total amount they want to raise. The amount of money that raised after the first event is expressed as

10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = 0.1x

Therefore,

0.1x = 240

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

x = 240/0.1

x = $2400
