Answer:
9,878,813
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make 0.6% into a decimal
0.6 / 100 = 0.006
Then, multiply the number of people living in Michigan in 2000 by the number of people decreased (the percentage decrease) in 2010
9,938,444 x 0.006 = 59630.664
Last, subtract the percentage decrease by the original population in 2000
9,938,444 – 59630.664 = 9,878,813
In 2010 the approximate population in Michigan was about 9,878,813 (to the nearest whole person)
