Respuesta :

Answer:

The decrease is of 24%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial population: 10500

Current population: 8000

As a percentage:

Current population of the initial population:

[tex]p = 100 \times \frac{8000}{10500} = 0.7619[/tex]

The current population is 76% of the original population, to the nearest integer.

So the decrease is of:

100% - 76% = 24%
