One year, the population of a city was 51,000. Several years later it was 44,880. Find the percent decrease.

Sagot :

Answer: 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract starting value minus final value

2. divide the amount by the absolute value of the starting value

3. multiply 100 to get percent decrease

12%

Make a note saying what 1% of the number is (dividing by 100)

And 10% (dividing by 10)

And make other notes of what the percentages are if you want

10% is 5,100 and 1% is 510

You can also do what the other person said and do 51,000 - 44,880 and add the percentages.

Hope this helps
