Answer 1

Hello!

1. The formula for percentage decrease is:

{(Old Value - New Value) / Old Value × 100}

Using this formula, we have:

{(51,300 - 45,800) / 51,300 × 100}

= 10.72% (Rounded to the nearest percentage).


2. The town that had an increase in population is Riverview.

The formula for percentage increase is:

{(New Value - Old Value) / Old Value × 100}

Using this formula, we have:

{(63,000 - 41,700) / 41,700 × 100}

= 51.08% (Rounded to the nearest percentage).
