to understand this

you need to know about:

  • percent
  • percentage words problem
  • PEMDAS

given:

  • population:2500
  • decreasing rate:3%

to find:

  • the population after 11 years

let's solve:

according to the question

population decreases in 1 year

[tex]2500 \times 3\% \\ 2500 \times \frac{3}{100} \\ 25 \times 3 \\ 75[/tex]

population will decrease in 11 years

  • 75×11
  • 825

so the population of the town after 11 years will be

2500-825

1675
