Answer: 229,500 people to the nearest hundred

Step-by-step explanation:

Population decreases exponentially at 1.7% per year in a town that is currently 250,000 in number.

Population in 5 years = 250,000 * ( 1 - 1.7%) ⁵

= 250,000 * 0.917841286185143‬

= 229,460

= 229,500 people to the nearest hundred
