The percent decrease is approximately [tex]10.75\%[/tex]
(Don't know what you are expected to round to.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent change can be calculated by doing:
[tex]\frac{\text{original}-\text{new}}{\text{original}}[/tex]
Then you multiply the result to covert it to a percentage.
Let's use this formula:
[tex]\frac{5831 \text{thousand}-5204 \text{ thousand }}{5831 \text{thousand}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{thousand}}{\text{thousand}} \cdot \frac{5831-5204}{5831}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5831-5204}{5831}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{627}{5831}[/tex]
[tex]0.1075[/tex] approximately
Now the answer as a percent is [tex]10.75\%[/tex] approximately.
The percent decrease is approximately [tex]10.75\%[/tex]
