Answer 1

Answer:

11.6% decrease (rounded off to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Population decrease = 5,416,000 - 4,787,000 = 629,000

Percentage decrease = (decrease ÷ original population) × 100

Percentage decrease = $\frac{629,000}{5,416,000}$ × 100 = 11.61373708%

Or 11.6% decrease (rounded off to the nearest tenth)
