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)
