First, calculate the difference in population: 181,000 - 150,230 = 30,770
Next, calculate the percent decrease: (30,770 / 181,000) x 100 = 16.98%
Therefore, the population of the city decreased by approximately 16.98%.
One year, the population of a city was 181,000. Several years later it was 150,230. Find the percent decrease.

Sorry it was incorrect, but here is some examples to help you: Rashon went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The price on the tag was $30, but Rashon paid $27 before tax. Find the percent discount. 100percent represents the price before discount: dollar sign 30. 100% represents the price before discount: $30. Method 1 Express the final price as a percentage of the price before discount: start fraction, dollar sign, 27, divided by, dollar sign, 30, end fraction, equals, 0, point, 9 $30 $27 = 0.9 0, point, 9, times, 100, equals, 90, percent 0.9×100= 90% Subtract from the 100% we started with to get the percent discount:
To find the percent discount that Rashon received on the pants, you can calculate it as follows:
Price before discount: $30
Price paid by Rashon: $27
Discount amount: $30 - $27 = $3
To find the percent discount, divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100:
Percent Discount = (Discount Amount / Original Price) x 100
Percent Discount = ($3 / $30) x 100
Percent Discount = 0.1 x 100
Percent Discount = 10%
Therefore, Rashon received a 10% discount on the pants.
Price before discount: $30
Price paid by Rashon: $27
Discount amount: $30 - $27 = $3
To find the percent discount, divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100:
Percent Discount = (Discount Amount / Original Price) x 100
Percent Discount = ($3 / $30) x 100
Percent Discount = 0.1 x 100
Percent Discount = 10%
Therefore, Rashon received a 10% discount on the pants.
Sorry I gave the example to help you, not for you to answer that one, the one that you need to answer is: One year, the population of a city was 181,000. Several years later it was 150,230. Find the percent decrease.
Answer this like I showed.
Answer this like I showed.
I aplogize for the mistake earlier. Here's the correct solution following your format:
Price before decrease: 181,000
Price after decrease: 150,230
Difference in population: 181,000 - 150,230 = 30,770
Percent decrease = (Difference / Original Population) x 100
Percent decrease = (30,770 / 181,000) x 100
Percent decrease = 0.1698 x 100
Percent decrease = 16.98%
Therefore, the population of the city decreased by approximately 16.98%.
Price before decrease: 181,000
Price after decrease: 150,230
Difference in population: 181,000 - 150,230 = 30,770
Percent decrease = (Difference / Original Population) x 100
Percent decrease = (30,770 / 181,000) x 100
Percent decrease = 0.1698 x 100
Percent decrease = 16.98%
Therefore, the population of the city decreased by approximately 16.98%.
its still incorrect
I apologize for the error. Let's correct that:
Price before decrease: 181,000
Price after decrease: 150,230
Decrease in population: 181,000 - 150,230 = 30,770
To find the percent decrease:
Percent decrease = (Decrease in population / Original population) x 100
Percent decrease = (30,770 / 181,000) x 100
Percent decrease = 0.1698 x 100
Percent decrease = 16.98%
Therefore, the correct percent decrease is 16.98%. Thank you for your patience.

Please put a different answer, its still incorrect
Apologies for the incorrect responses. Let's recalculate the percent decrease:
Original population: 181,000
Final population: 150,230
Population decrease: 181,000 - 150,230 = 30,770
To find the percent decrease:
Percent decrease = (Population decrease / Original population) x 100
Percent decrease = (30,770 / 181,000) x 100
Percent decrease = 0.16981 x 100
Percent decrease ≈ 16.98%
Therefore, the correct percent decrease in population is approximately 16.98%. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the opportunity to correct the mistake.
